As the son of first generation Italians, John learned the value of hard work from the age of nine when he took his first job delivering newspapers – which proved to be serendipitous for his future career goals. "When I went to deposit my pay cheques at the bank, there was a poster talking about the power of investing early,” he says. “It still sticks with me today."
After passing the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) with honours, John joined a local investment firm during the height of the dot-com boom and spent several years gaining valuable skills and knowledge before moving to RBC as a financial planner in 2004. John’s commitment to his clients and exceptional level of service earned him recognition through several internal awards, including the RBC Annual Gold Award.
In 2017, John founded De Vincenzi Private Wealth Management, leveraging his background in financial planning and his Chartered Investment Manager (CIM) designation to provide clients with wealth and investment solutions tailored to their unique needs. As a self-described “people person,” John loves that his work allows him to truly get to know his clients and their families on a personal level, helping them plan not only for their lives – both present and future – but also for the generations to come.
When not at the office, John loves spending time with his “better half,” Jill – an author, motivational speaker, and executive coach – and adult son, Matteo. On the weekends, John and Jill can be found exploring Vancouver on their Vespas, playing pickleball, or travelling to sunny destinations.
