While in college, Mary opened two boutiques on Robson Street, one of Vancouver’s most well-known shopping streets.
A decade later, a knock on the door led to the sale of the business, a move to Montreal and a career at RBC Dominion Securities.
She started as an Investment Advisor and later joined the corporate management team, giving her further insight into the financial industry and needs of clients. Mary was an Assistant Branch Manager at Place Ville Marie and Branch Manager of an office. She has the distinction of being one of the first women in management for the firm. However, her interest was always with the clients and after three years, returned to being an Investment Advisor.
Mary is an alumni of Langara College. Through the Canadian Securities Institute she has obtained certificates in Advanced Investment Advice; Estate Planning & Trust Strategy; and Retirement Strategy. She is a Chartered Investment Manager CIM® and fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute.

"I would like to whole heartedly endorse Mary Woo and her exceptional team. She has been with my family for sometime and has always steered us in the right direction. Always open to answering questions, subjected to some great debates and reasoning of why things should be done in a certain way. When Mary is unsure (which is rare) she will research, investigate the request and then she is able to come back with options and the best choice for her clients. She has helped us with Estate Planning, Trust funds, Family Trusts, RRSP, TFSA, Global investing and so much more. She is a real credit to her industry and a force to be reckoned with.
I would also like to point out Jayne Pichler, Mary's associate. She is exceptional, doesn't miss a beat. Follows up, fact checks, reminds us of deadlines etc. These ladies have made being with the Wealth Management Team at RBC a real pleasure".
