Laura K. Drynan

I bring over 25 years of investment experience to Bourgeon, but since 2003, my primary focus has been exclusively on helping ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals achieve their multi-generational investment goals using customized portfolios designed for their specific needs.

I consider myself a trusted advisor as a result of my long tenured relationships and client focus. I believe my ability to connect with people going through a transition, such as retirement, divorce, or death of a loved one has been instrumental to my success.

My career began at Credit Suisse First Boston, where I became a key member of a top-ranked investment research team. After leaving Wall Street, I joined Barbenco Investment Advisors, a Connecticut-based family office, rising to the role of President and Chief Investment Officer. I joined Bourgeon as a partner in 2010.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mandarin from Georgetown University, graduating Summa Cum Laude and a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. I’m a Chartered Financial Analyst®, Certified Financial Planner™, and Chartered Investment Counselor. I’m a member of the New York Society of Security Analysts. In 2021, I was elected to the Board of Governors of the Investment Adviser’s Association, where I also serve as a member of the IAA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and as Vice Chairman of the IAA’s Government Relations Committee. In 2020, I proudly received  the Woman with Impact Award given by the Women’s Business Development Council.

I enjoy reading a book with my feet in the sand and game night with my family and friends.
