Luis Román is a seasoned wealth advisor dedicated to helping individuals, families, and business owners align their financial resources with what matters most in life. With over two decades of experience in asset management, quantitative finance, and investment risk management, he combines analytical expertise with a people-first approach to financial planning.

Luis’s passion for advising deepened in 2020, when he helped dozens of small business owners navigate the challenges of the pandemic. Guiding them through strategies to pivot, stabilize, and grow revealed an important truth: the financial health of a business is intrinsically connected to the personal and family goals of its owner. This realization shaped his holistic planning philosophy—integrating business, personal, and family objectives into one cohesive financial strategy.

Motivated by this vision, Luis became a financial advisor and joined Opus Private Client, LLC, where he focused on asset protection, wealth building, and retirement income distribution strategies. Clients quickly recognized his ability to combine rigorous financial analysis with empathy and clarity, resulting in tailored strategies that provided both confidence and peace of mind.

Before entering financial planning, Luis held senior leadership positions across the investment industry, including Director of Risk Management at the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board (PRIM), U.S. Head of Multi-Asset Investment Risk at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, and Global Head of Fixed Income and Cash Investment Risk at State Street Global Advisors. In these roles, he oversaw large-scale investment programs, built advanced risk frameworks, and evaluated opportunities across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative markets.

Earlier in his career, Luis served as a professor at the University of California, Irvine, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he taught mathematics and mentored students. He holds a master’s degree in applied mathematics from the University of Chicago and a doctorate in applied mathematics from the University of Minnesota.

Today, Luis uses his unique blend of technical expertise, strategic insight, and interpersonal skills to guide clients through comprehensive financial planning. Whether it’s building wealth, preparing for retirement, managing risk, or creating lasting legacies, his goal is to empower clients with clarity, confidence, and control over their financial futures.
