Advisor Team
Catarina began her career in finance in 2014, when she joined a large team at Merrill Lynch as a Registered Client Associate. She joined IHT Wealth Management in October of 2016 as an Onboarding Consultant, helping advisors move their practice to IHT. She is now the Chief Development Officer at IHT, still onboarding new Advisors and their teams, and also helping to run the day to day operations at IHT.
Having completed over 130 Advisor transitions, she understands that every book of business is different and that it is important to build custom and streamlined transition plans for each advisor. Catarina’s primary goal is to be there for the Advisor through the entire process, always ensuring they know what to expect next and making sure they never feel like they are in over their head. She also works to ensure that existing advisors at IHT have the tools they need to run their businesses successfully, and also to accommodate their needs as they grow their businesses.
