Mara Barbaro, CIM®

Portfolio Manager

Senior Investment Advisor

Tel:

(403) 260-0495

Email:

Mara.Barbaro@cibc.ca

With over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, I am dedicated to helping families and business owners across Canada navigate the complexities of wealth with clarity and confidence. My approach is centered on the belief that a financial plan is more than just numbers - it's a roadmap for the life you want to live.

 

Throughout my career at CIBC Wood Gundy, I have specialized in transition planning and tax-efficient portfolio growth. I work closely with my clients to strip away the emotion of the markets, providing straight forward advice that allows them to focus on what matters most to them.

 

Outside of the office, I am a firm believer in family comes first and supporting the local Calgary community. On multiple days of the weeks, you can find me training for Muay Thai and taking care of my pup, Barker.
