Chief Strategy Officer

Moran Wealth Management

Before Chelsea Ganey became chief strategy officer for Moran Wealth Management, she spent eight years at the firm as a senior portfolio manager responsible for fixed income and equity strategies. But Ganey said most of her career growth began at home.

“I saw the most growth in my career after becoming a parent. Having children is a daily lesson in patience, negotiation and conflict resolution, and it also taught me to become more efficient and structure my day to prioritize and focus on the task at hand,” she says. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about what I do and the example it sets for my three kids. Showing them my passion, dedication and perseverance in my work is giving them lessons in how I hope they grow up to pursue their own dreams.”

In addition to her responsibilities at MWM, Ganey serves on the Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation Board of Directors and the Executive Council for the Department of Economics and Finance at FGCU, and is the president of the House Corporation for the Pi Mu Chapter of Chi Omega. She is also a member of CHIEF, a private organization for women executive leaders.
