Eduard Hamamjian
Principal and CIO, Senior Advisor
Over the past 35 years, I've purchased, sold, and developed multiple businesses and properties. This hands-on experience has given me a unique depth of expertise in all aspects of my counsel and advice. I find tremendous satisfaction in helping others, and I consider it a privilege to assist my clients in achieving their life goals.
My journey has been a remarkable one. In 1965, my parents gifted me the opportunity to emigrate from the former Soviet Union to the United States under the most challenging circumstances. Fast forward to 2023, and my wife and I were ringing the closing bell of the New York Stock Exchange. This is the kind of story that can only happen in America.
I'm a self-confessed analytical, and I relish the daily grind of crunching numbers. The time I spend counseling my clients provides me with immense satisfaction. I was born in Armenia, but I grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island. From an early age, through sports, I learned that real success is a by-product of discipline, execution, and calculated risk. There are no shortcuts in life, and the rewards we reap tomorrow are a direct result of what we are willing to do today.
When I'm not working, you can find me on the dance floor, practicing ballroom dancing, or playing a game of table tennis. I also enjoy boating. But above all, what I cherish the most is spending quality time with my family and friends. These moments are priceless and remind me every day why I strive to help others achieve their goals.
