Veronika Alekyan
My passion is helping busy professionals and business owners navigate complex financial decisions, manage cash flow, and develop strategies that allow them to balance everyday demands while pursuing their long-term financial and personal goals.
I joined Merrill in 2025 after a brief tenure at J.P. Morgan Chase as a Private Client Banker and, prior to that, with a MassMutual affiliate.
Before pivoting to my advisory career, I held key roles in commercial real estate investment underwriting, working with real estate development and private equity firms, as well as a global real estate advisory firm. My responsibilities included managing the analytical support for sales and acquisition transactions with total annual valuations exceeding $1 billion.
I earned a Master’s degree in Finance and Economics from Brandeis University in 2008 and graduated with Honors from Yerevan State University of Economics with a Bachelor’s degree in Economics. I am a CFA® charterholder and an active member of the CFA Society of Los Angeles.
Outside of work, I enjoy painting, playing chess, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Communication is instrumental to managing life's challenges. That's why I work to engage you and your family in the financial decision-making process. Communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult subject of wealth can be a challenge. I can help facilitate these discussions and offer personalized financial strategies designed to educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
Bringing fresh perspectives to your financial life
The financial decisions you make today can help determine the future you build for yourself and your family. Carving a clear path forward starts with connecting your life and finances. A Merrill advisor provides access to the investing insights of Merrill and banking capabilities of Bank of America to help you make informed decisions as you pursue your goals.
