German Village resident, Alexander Reed, is a dynamic force as the Chief Investment Officer of Envisage Wealth at the age of 32. Armed with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Alexander’s journey into the financial realm began during college, catalyzed by the potent lessons of financial literacy instilled by his parents. The serenity of the Scioto Trail and the thrill of Columbus’s culinary landscape serve as his retreats from the rigors of his role, complemented by the company of his wife, fellow explorer of new eateries.
Beyond his financial prowess, Alexander extends his influence as a Board Member of the CFA Society of Columbus, embodying the mantra, “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can’t.” His dedication transcends mere career ambition; it’s a harmonious blend of care and competition. Mentored by luminaries like Jeff Chaddock, Envisage Wealth’s CEO, Alexander imbibes the wisdom of the 5Ps, guiding his professional trajectory with meticulous planning.
Away from spreadsheets and charts, Alexander unwinds by exercising, whether at the gym, running, or rollerblading along the Scioto Mile. An avid reader and podcast enthusiast, he delves into works like “Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity” by Peter Attia and explores diverse perspectives on “Masters In Business” and “Business Breakdowns.”
