Lisa’s clientele span both individuals and institutions. On the personal side Lisa’s clientele span generations of families.

“By asking questions, listening and appreciating what’s on a client’s mind and in their heart, I can craft an integrated strategy that blends investment and liability management with tax-minimization and estate planning strategies. My clients also have great ideas and deserve a sounding board, ” Lisa explains. “So I encourage them to call with any decision related to their finances. I consider my clients to be a family and have assisted during difficult times – the loss of a spouse, a job, illness, or when a client transitions to retirement.”
Prior to arriving at Merrill, Lisa was the Regional Director of Investments at Key Private Bank. Before that, Lisa spent 15 years at Deutsche Bank developing deep skills in equity portfolio management, wealth planning and investment product management for high-net-worth individuals.
“I joined Merrill in 2020 to serve clients personally and directly. Here, I can dig deeper with each client and when helpful, summon specialists to deliver advice across investments, banking, education and retirement planning, trust and estate planning,” she says.
Before entering the financial sector, Lisa held several engineering and software development positions at Martin Marietta and Anderson Consulting.
