Hugues (pronounced “Oog”) helps families achieve heightened abundance in time, relationships, experiences, travel, fulfilling work, college, family homes, and philanthropic pursuits. Hugues firmly believes that while “money” can often be seen as a goal, it is actually a tool to achieve these dreams. He encourages clients to dream big and strategize on managing money to get there.
Hugues grew up in Québec City and earned his BA in Mathematical Economics (Magna cum laude) from Colgate University and MBA in Finance & Organizational Behavior from the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern). A CFP®, he is approaching 25 years as a financial advisor, having started his career as an investment banker.
