Series 65

Before joining SteelPeak, Dalia built experience across several areas of the financial industry, including wealth management, investment compliance, commercial banking, business valuation, and investment analysis. Most recently, she spent two years as a Compliance Associate at a multi-billion-dollar SEC-registered wealth management firm, where she worked directly with the Chief Compliance Officer and collaborated with advisors and client service teams to support the firm’s compliance program and advisory operations. Earlier in her career, Dalia worked in commercial credit analysis and business valuation, developing a strong foundation in financial analysis, investment research, and risk assessment. During her undergraduate studies, she was selected to participate in the university’s Student Managed Investment Fund, where she helped construct and monitor a $250,000 investment portfolio following CFA Institute investment guidelines. These experiences provided her with a broad understanding of financial markets, investment analysis, and the wealth management industry.

Dalia likes the combination of analytical problem solving and relationship building that wealth management offers. She is drawn to wealth management because she believes financial decisions have a strong impact on the quality of a person’s life. Dalia wants to help clients navigate important financial decisions with clarity and confidence, knowing that thoughtful planning can provide peace of mind and confidence, and support the life they envision for themselves and their families. She strives to create an experience where clients feel comfortable asking questions, confident in the planning process, and supported through their financial journey. She is known for her analytical mindset, attention to detail, collaborative approach, and commitment to delivering a thoughtful client experience.

 Outside of work, Dalia enjoys traveling, exploring museums and historic cities, listening to music, discovering new restaurants and coffeeshops, and spending time with family and friends. She especially enjoys traveling throughout Europe and learning about different cultures, history, and architecture.

Why did you get into wealth management?
I entered wealth management because I genuinely enjoy helping people improve their lives. Financial decisions touch nearly every aspect of a person's life—from career opportunities and family goals to retirement and the experiences they can enjoy along the way. I am drawn to this profession because I want to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. Thoughtful financial planning and investment decisions can create opportunities, reduce stress, and help individuals live more intentionally. Being able to improve clients’ lives is incredibly rewarding to me.
What do you enjoy most about the work you do for SteelPeak clients?
As a newer member of the SteelPeak team, I am excited to begin building relationships with clients and learning about the goals, values, and experiences that are important to them. What I enjoy most about wealth management is the human side of the profession. Every client has a unique story, and I look forward to helping them navigate important financial decisions with confidence and clarity. I value open communication and personal connection, which is why I especially enjoy meeting with clients in person whenever possible. Building trust and long-term relationships is an important part of how I hope to serve clients throughout their financial journeys.
What do you love to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and seeking out experiences that bring people together. I love attending festivals, community events, and outdoor activities, and I thrive on the energy that comes from being around people. Travel is one of my greatest passions, particularly visiting Europe. I enjoy learning about different cultures, exploring historical landmarks, and discovering local cafés and restaurants. These experiences have broadened my perspective and reinforced my appreciation for lifelong learning. I'm also enjoying following the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the way it brings people from different backgrounds together through a shared love of the game.
