Andrea Stiernstrand brings over 25 years of experience in global asset management to her role as Founder of Visible Wealth Planning. Her career began in institutional finance, most notably spending a decade at Maverick Capital, a global long/short hedge fund based in New York. In 2013, Andrea relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia, where she became a partner of a start up long/short hedge fund focused on technology and consumer sectors. In this role, she led the firm’s trading operations and contributed broadly across the business as the firm grew to over $3 Billion in Assets under Management.
Andrea holds a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Loyola University Maryland. She later expanded her focus from institutional investing to personal wealth planning, earning both the Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) designation and the Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®) certification through Yale University.
Visible Wealth Planning was born out of Andrea’s passion for helping individuals, particularly women, gain financial clarity and confidence. Throughout her career, she witnessed firsthand how women have been underserved in both institutional finance and personal wealth management. Her mission is to change that by delivering clear, values-driven financial advice that empowers clients to take control of their financial futures.
Beyond her professional work, Andrea is committed to giving back. She chaired the philanthropic foundation at Maverick Capital and has served on multiple nonprofit boards since moving to Charlottesville, including her current role on the Advisory Board for the UVA Children’s Hospital.
In her free time, Andrea enjoys traveling, skiing, and spending time outdoors with her husband and two daughters.
