Senior Portfolio Manager & Wealth Advisor
“There isn’t much in the world of wealth that we haven’t seen, and there’s almost nothing we, along with the resources of RBC, can’t do."
Kieron acts as your dedicated coach, ally and advocate in every part of your financial life.
He started his career in retail banking at another financial institution before making the leap into wealth management. Today, he helps lead our team with a commitment to finding answers and solving problems—whether that means accompanying you to meetings with your lawyer or real estate agent, or collaborating with your accountant to eliminate tax leakage. And, because he’s worked shoulder to shoulder with these types of professionals for over 20 years, the experience he’s accrued extends well beyond investment management.
In addition to his Portfolio Manager qualification, Kieron has earned his Family Enterprise Advisor designation, meaning he can provide advice on a full range of business-related financial concerns. As importantly, when you come to him with a concern he can’t advise on, he combs his network for the right professional and ensures you receive the support you deserve. It’s this high level of service that has led to Kieron’s success within our firm.
Contributing to the community is also important to Kieron. After 11 years as a Director and ultimately Chair of the board for the St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation, he was invited to be a Director of the St. Joseph’s Healthcare System Board. In his downtime, Kieron is an avid skier and mountain biker. He and his wife have a son and daughter, and he enjoys how family keeps life busy.
