Steven Praet

Nice meeting you! I wanted to share a bit about my journey on how I became a financial advisor. I'm originally from Belgium, growing up in a little town close to the historical beautiful city of Ghent. I completed my Masters degrees in Applied Economics at the University of Ghent and in International Relations & Diplomacy at the University of Antwerp before starting my career as a commercial banker at BNP Paribas Fortis.

I travelled to far remote places and focused on personal development. The growth I experienced was tremendous gaining a big appreciation for eastern cultures, spirituality, and more sustainable ways of living. I decided to move to Canada. I'm grateful I was able to build our dream home with my partner in Britannia Beach and I'm excited to integrate and connect more deeply with the Squamish and Sea-to-Sky community.

Before starting my career as a financial advisor, I worked for Thomson Reuters and FINCAD providing research, pricing and analytics to the financial industry.
