Forbes "Top Women Wealth Advisors Best-in-State” 2024
Published on February 8, 2024. Rankings based on data as of September 30, 2023.*
Merrill hired Lisa in 1991 based mostly on the strength of her character forged by her experiences in the business world. Her early career was predicated upon determination, and Lisa steadily applies that same attitude on behalf of her clients to this day.
What attracted Lisa to Merrill Lynch Wealth Management? She understood the importance of being knowledgeable about financial affairs and services, and she knew learning would benefit her and those she would come to serve. Situations where Lisa helped people gain knowledge and financial strength became her most rewarding.
Today, Lisa is a seasoned and savvy financial advisor who brings her deep knowledge and enlightened perspectives to active and retired high-net-worth clients that span generations and the nation’s geography. Like many clients, Lisa’s entrepreneurial spirit guides her real-world approach to helping clients “see around corners” and plan for likely and unlikely circumstances. As a Senior Portfolio Advisor, Lisa helps clients pursue objectives by managing on a discretionary basis custom investment strategies tailored to each clients specific needs, or selecting from a wide range of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management model portfolios and third-party investment strategies to find the right blend and the right strategy for each client.
Lisa is highly credentialed and has completed advanced industry training sponsored by the Johnson School of Management at Cornell University. Additionally, she holds the Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorSM (CRPC®) designation from the College for Financial Planning.
Perhaps most important, Lisa prides herself for giving back by helping other financial professionals, and many giving efforts within the Syracuse community. Specifically, Lisa serves on the leadership committee of the Merrill Lynch Women’s Exchange – shepherding the Mentor Program, which matches mentors and mentees throughout the firm to help participants grow personally and professionally. Lisa is also involved in several local philanthropic activities such as the Upstate Foundation, YMCA, Girl Scouts and helping with backpack drives to supply school supplies to area students.
Lisa earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Alfred University. She and her husband, Robert, a managing partner at a leading Syracuse law firm, have raised three children–all competitive ski racers and athletes. Lisa and her family grew up in Central New York, and she makes the most out of the season changes by golfing and boating during the summer, and skiing and traveling in the winter. Most evenings Lisa can be found relaxing by taking long walks with her family and of course her fantastic French bulldog named Rocky.
