About Gregg Lorenzo
Gregg began his career as a licensed Registered Representative at 19 years of age. In 2003, Gregg was appointed a member of the "Chairman's Club;" an extremely prestigious distinction in the financial services industry. Two years later Gregg took on the opportunity to head up the entire retail division. Gregg's transition to Investment Banking was sparked by a fascination with the process of companies developing from their infantile stages to those of an established and prosperous company. It was in this medium where Gregg was able to summon all his skills: his enthusiasm for business, his lust for life and, most importantly, his ability to successfully articulate and convey his vision to all.
In January 2008, Gregg was appointed Managing Director of an Investment Banking firm. It was here that Gregg was first able to take the reins and hone his Investment Banking skills and utilize his talents to not only facilitate first-rate transactions but, also to nurture the continued development of all those with whom he worked. Gregg soon realized that the time had come to take all that he had learned and focus his efforts creating a world-class organization with a vision and, a singularity of purpose unlike anything in existence; Charles Vista. Here Gregg Lorenzo plans to bring together the most talented, driven, and successful professionals in the industry and unite them with a singularity of purpose: to effectively change our industry one client and one company at a time.
