As the founder of The Wynn-Lindenauer Group, Laurie has been helping successful families, businesses and institutions manage their wealth at Merrill Lynch Wealth Management since 2009, and in the industry since 1985.

Laurie holds the Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®) designation, and is the team’s chief strategist. As such, her primary responsibilities include designing and implementing customized wealth strategies intended to provide income, preserve principal, and help guard the buying power of that principal from inflation and taxes. Her more than two decades of experience in the financial services industry have given her the perspective and wisdom needed to take advantage of bull markets, and to weather bear markets and recessions. Laurie offers a range of services to institutional investors and select private clients, including sophisticated financial strategies, determining portfolio risk, strategic and tactical asset allocations, alternative investments, retirement income planning, legacy and estate planning services, and corporate executive and philanthropic planning strategies. The family atmosphere her team nurtures with clients is an extension of the mother-son bond between the team’s two principals.

Prior to joining Merrill in 2009, Laurie had her own question-and-answer daily radio program in South Florida. Laurie has long been a mainstay of the local community and has shared her understanding of the financial landscape with the investing public.

In addition to her professional commitments, Laurie previously served as a trustee on the board of the Museum of Art/Fort Lauderdale. She is the former chairman of finance and treasurer of New World Symphony, and past treasurer and secretary of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) in Miami. In addition, she is a past trustee of the Illinois Eye Institute, The Illinois Eye Foundation and Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Illinois, and a past board member of Funding Arts Network (a grant-giving body to the cultural arts of Miami).
