You deserve to feel financially empowered. The problem can be that you feel overwhelmed, overlooked or underserved in your financial lives. Terri understands. It’s why she has taken all her experience over a quarter-century of bull and bear markets managing billions of dollars for hundreds of people to create Zuma Wealth. Zuma Wealth is a firm by women for women. We’ve busted the myth that women aren’t interested in money and wealth topics. Many women thirst for knowledge and continuously seek out opportunities to grow and learn in many areas. Terri understands! Terri’s clients recognize the value of a trustworthy partner and seek her out because she offers support, understanding and an attentive ear. Importantly, she provides tailored advice and guidance so clients achieve their unique aspirations, never the one-size-fits-all that defines the industry. A renowned expert, Terri is a regular guest on CNBC and Bloomberg, and a sought-after industry speaker. She has been interviewed and quoted in hundreds of publications and lauded for making complex concepts simple. Her real world expertise is rooted in a suite of top financial credentials: the CFA charter, the CFP® certification, an MBA in Finance from Columbia University and an AB in Economics with Honors from the University of Michigan. Terri started investing when her father introduced her to the concept of compound interest and she learned she could make money in her sleep.

Founder of DIWY Financial Planning (DIWYFP), an advice-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) offering hourly financial planning to help clients make clear, confident decisions. After more than two decades of experience at firms including JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg, and HSBC, I launched DIWYFP in 2025 to help make professional financial planning more accessible to anyone seeking objective guidance, without a requirement to move assets or meet minimums. With DIWYFP you can plan for yourself—not by yourself™ using a “do-it-with-you” approach that emphasizes collaboration, education, empowerment, and transparency. I am a first-generation American, born in Brooklyn, NY, to parents who immigrated from Central America and the Caribbean. In 1999, I relocated to California with my wife and two children and now split time between California, New York, Florida, and Nevada. I earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University and an MBA in Finance from Long Island University. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travel, astronomy, cycling, mentoring, and civic engagement. I am also drawn to wind-powered activities, including paragliding and sailing small boats.

Hi, I’m Brian, Founder and Financial Planner at Safe Landing Financial. I started Safe Landing Financial to serve as a one-stop, fee-only financial planning firm for tech professionals who want to plan for a work optional future. I believe you deserve advice from a fiduciary who puts your best interests first. The name Safe Landing Financial was inspired by my love of travel, the idea of reaching your financial destination safely, and a desire to help others navigate complex financial decisions. With more than a decade of experience in financial planning and investment management, I’ve seen how disconnected saving, investing, tax planning, retirement, insurance, and estate planning can feel without thoughtful coordination. My goal is to bring those pieces together into a clear, actionable strategy that helps you move forward with confidence. Many of the people I work with are employed at large technology companies like Dell Technologies. They’re often facing complex decisions around RSUs, 401(k)s, deferred compensation, and planning for a work optional future. Here are a few common questions I help clients work through: • How do I handle equity compensation and bonuses without getting crushed by taxes? • Am I taking advantage of the advanced planning opportunities available to me? • How do I balance enjoying life now with saving tax-efficiently for the future? Here’s what you can expect when we work together: • Confidence: Gain clarity on your full financial picture. My planning process ensures you’re on track and fully understand where you stand. • Expertise: I make complex financial decisions easier to understand and take action. I specialize in guiding high-earning tech executives through their financial journey. • Customization: Your plan evolves with your life, not a cookie-cutter approach. I help connect the dots from where you are today to where you want to be. When I’m not working on financial plans or managing portfolios, I’m usually traveling with my wife and our 5-pound Maltipoo, Lorelei, searching for the best barbecue or a fresh ocean breeze. If you're a tech professional ready to take control of your finances and plan for a work optional future, I’d love to hear your story.
