Answan’s positive and encouraging attitude is evident in all aspects of his life whether serving clients, supporting other advisors, or giving back to his community. He works directly with clients attending to their day-to-day financial needs, and works tirelessly behind the scenes to help them reach their goals. A consummate team player, Answan applies his broad planning, operations, and data management experience to support advisors delivering comprehensive solutions to help our clients meet their complex financial needs.

Answan served as a Client Service Manager with Bridgewater Wealth & Financial Management prior to merging with The Colony Group in early 2018. Previously, he was a Senior Lead Analyst with a Washington area financial services firm that provided sophisticated investment analysis and portfolio development for approximately 100 of the nation’s leading wealth management firms. He is a founding member of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council and considers his greatest professional achievement to have led a young team of analysts and fostered their professional growth.
