Nicola joined BMO Financial Group in 2005 and shortly thereafter began working with clients as an Investment Representative, where she gained skills in executing trades and interacting with clients. Three years later, Nicola had grown her reputation within BMO as both highly capable and adored by clients. She was awarded a role in the Private Client Division of BMO Nesbitt Burns, assisting Investment Advisors in running their businesses. In 2011, Nicola was introduced to a new face at BMO Nesbitt Burns, Nicholas Palahnuk, and shortly thereafter joined the growing advisory practice. Nicola's exceptional skills were apparent from the beginning and she has since evolved into a full Associate Investment Advisor. In addition to growing in her business accountabilities, Nicola has studied continuously and has become qualified as a Chartered Investment Manager. Nicola's role on the team has grown significantly from administrative to one of true leadership. She handles the execution of our clients' financial plans and strategies, and oversees the complete end-to-end management of our clients' accounts. Outside of the business, Nicola's zest for life shines through in her passions, especially travel and sports. Nicola lives in Toronto with her partner Rich, a capital markets professional.
