Meet Your Team

Liz is the Director of Compliance at Coastal Bridge Advisors, where she draws on over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. She is responsible for administering and supporting the firm’s compliance program.

For Liz, it all comes down to serving every client the same way – with care, support, and a close eye on regulations and fiscal responsibility – so that their investments are safe. She says, “We strive to provide the utmost of care to all clients regardless of who they are or how much they have invested with us.”

She’s a big believer in Planning because she’s seen the positive results for people who go through a thorough planning process regarding their financial health, and she’s seen the consequences for those who don’t. As she says, “It might sound like a cliché but ‘not having a plan is planning to fail’.”

In her role, Liz draws on extensive experience including Advisory, Back-Office Operations and Management over a decade spent at UBS, as well as her time as the Team Manager and Officer Manager while working with the Founding Partners of Coastal Bridge Advisors while they were all with Merrill Lynch.

In her current position as Director of Compliance, Liz has to keep track of the myriad regulations that are designed to protect investors. She says, “In a way, my job is to Uncomplicate It for our team. It’s all about caring, thinking about our clients first, and making things easier for everyone. That’s how I support our company motto, by focusing on accuracy and simplification to make sure that we carefully follow the rules that are in place to protect us all.”

Liz lives in the Black Rock area of Bridgeport, Connecticut and enjoys horseback riding, photography and travel, as well as spending time at home with her dogs.
