Alex is one of the co-founders of Aspira Wealth and takes the lead role in developing and managing our in-house investment strategies. Alex brings to Aspira his curiosity, resilience, and focus on continuous improvement.

He leverages his passion for mathematics, design, and psychology to create effective investment solutions.

Before he joined Raymond James (Canada) in 2013, Alex worked for 6 years for a small, top performing, hedge fund from Minnesota, United States.

During family time, you might find Alex, his wife, Dorina, and their daughters exploring Vancouver Island, as well as engaging with the community. More recently, they launched a farm stand to share home-made crafts & sourdough bread with the local community and to donate most of the proceeds to various charities.

During his alone time, Alex is renovating his house, making wildlife photography, creating artwork, engaging in endurance exercises, and reading (...a lot!). Alex shares his insights in his newsletter “Investment Marathon” and displays artwork of his family at Vozian Art gallery.

Alex is fluent in three languages – English, Romanian, and Russian. He has lived in Moldova, Quebec, and Minnesota, before finally settling in British Columbia.
