Portfolio Manager
Ivetta Krdyan is a Portfolio Manager at Optimize and is dedicated to helping clients achieve their long-term financial aspirations. She works closely with advisors and clients to review model portfolios, making sure each one reflects their collection of unique goals.
She believes every plan and portfolio adjustment should feel personal, that even the smallest questions matter. Whether it’s planning for retirement or building legacies, she listens closely, providing tailored solutions for advisors, so they can offer guidance that aligns with their clients’ financial objectives.
While Ivetta has a natural affinity for numbers and a passion for solving complex problems, what truly drew her to the financial industry was the opportunity to make a lasting impact. She takes pride in collaborating with advisors and clients to make recommendations that support people’s financial freedom and well-being.
Outside of work, she enjoys biking, hiking, and playing tennis. She makes the most of summer by attending music festivals. Ultimately though, she values spending time with family and friends.
