Genevie Pineda
Genevie was born on Quadra Island, B.C., but spent most of her childhood and early adult life in the Dominican Republic, where she, along with her husband and two daughters, Kiara and Tayla, spent many joyful years engaged in various volunteer projects. Tragically, in 2013, Genevie lost her beloved husband of 13 years after an extended battle with leukemia. Determined to create meaningful experiences for her daughters, she embarked on a journey to explore the world, visiting 49 countries and living in both Asia and Europe.
Genevie has extensive managerial experience in multiple fields, however due to her own major unexpected change in circumstances at such a young age she has always been intrigued by wealth management and planning for the future, so when the opportunity presented itself to join a team with such a trusted reputation, for helping families reach their financial goals and securing their futures, she jumped at the opportunity.
In her free time, Genevie can often be found in what she describes as her “happy place”—the kitchen—where she enjoys cooking up a storm while singing and dancing to lively Spanish music
