Ronald Dragotta

I educate and empower international families and single women for financial success in a non-judgemental and personal way. I founded GreenLife Advisors in 2018 to transform the typical financial advising relationship into one that genuinely serves clients with non-judgemental and personalized experiences tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Our focus is helping families—many are first-generation Americans or recent immigrants—get organized and set up for long-term financial success. My clients come from widely diverse backgrounds. I also welcome LGBTQ+ clients and provide a welcoming environment. I respect and value each family. Everything we do, from our services to operations to outreach, ladders up to this purpose. What inspires me most is the personalized experience we've created. While my degrees in business and finance allow me to handle the analytical details, my real passion is spending time with clients and guiding them toward the future they envision. I am uniquely positioned to help you and your family through both my personal experiences and the knowledge gained from working directly with families like yours. I also understand working parents' time demands and needs, having been one myself for years. I’m a mother of two teenagers, one of whom is part of the LGBTQ+ community. I hold the credentials and have the education to help: * Certified Financial Planner™ professional. * Chartered Financial Analyst designation. * Masters of Business, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Concentration in Finance. * Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science, University of Rochester.

As the Founder of Brennan Capital Management, I bring over 17+ years of experience working in the financial services industry at leading organizations including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Finacity Corporation to guide individuals and businesses through the intricacies of financial planning and wealth management. I assess clients' financial situations, set strategic goals, and craft tailored plans encompassing investment management, retirement planning, tax strategies, and estate planning. My approach combines deep industry knowledge with a commitment to transparency and integrity.

I'm a dedicated financial professional with over a decade of experience, committed to helping my clients achieve their financial goals. Originally from Quito, Ecuador, I'm a first-generation immigrant who came to the United States to pursue my education and career. After a year of studying abroad in Paris in 2012, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Finance from Western Connecticut State University, marking the beginning of my journey in financial services. Since then, I've had the privilege of working closely with clients, guiding them through various financial landscapes. I believe in continuous learning and have invested in expanding my expertise to better serve their diverse needs. In 2022, I earned my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) certification, a testament to my commitment to upholding the highest standards in financial planning. Additionally, I hold multiple other designations from the American College of Financial Services, including Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®), Chartered Life Underwriter® (CLU®), and Retirement Income Certified Professional® (RICP®). When I'm not in the office, you can find me enjoying a round of golf, catching a tennis match, or cheering on my favorite soccer team. I also love exploring new destinations and trying out new restaurants. I live in Norwalk, CT, with my wife, Paula.
