When life is going well, it’s easy to take things for granted. But when financial disaster strikes – a job loss, a divorce, an illness – your financial house can come crumbling down. Until it happened to me, I never appreciated the importance of a written financial strategy. That experience is why I became a Financial Advisor - to guide my clients to financial success and help them through financial setbacks that could devastate and demotivate them.

I worked in pharmaceutical industry for 26 years building businesses and managing high performing teams in various countries across Europe, Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In my career I have been greatly influenced by several outstanding professionals; however, I believe my greatest influencers were physicians, surgeons and dentists. A medical professional focuses on diagnosis before prescribing a treatment. Similarly, I focus on going deep with my clients, to understand what is important to them and what keeps them up at night. Only then can I build a financial strategy uniquely suited to their individual needs and personalities. Then, like a physician, we have regular checkups to keep their good financial health on track.

My global travel and exposure to dozens of cultures have given me a keen understanding and appreciation for various cultures. I hold an MBA from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, and a Master's degree in Business from Queen's University in Kingston, ON. I also hold the CFP®, (Certified Financial Planner) CIM® (Chartered Investment Manager) and CLU® (Chartered Life Underwriter) designations, equipping me serve clients with complex financial needs. In 2022 I was conferred by CSI (Canadian Securities Institute), the prestigious FCSI® (Fellow of CSI), the highest honor and most senior credential in Canadian financial services.

My practice is well-suited to serve those whose experiences I have shared: corporate executives, physicians, professionals and those desiring to prepare for the unexpected.

I serve on the board of the Cornell Club Toronto for Cornell University alumni and am active with local Chambers of Commerce, and Marathi Bhashik Mandal, a South Asian non-profit, cultural organization.
