My entire life, I thought I was going to be a Doctor just like my father.
 
Then in 2017, I realized it wasn't my passion.
 
So, I decided to end my pre-medicine college track.
 
But, before I could, I had to have a plan.
 
My dad grew his medicine practice by building relationships and grow by word of mouth.
 
These same relationships he built were the foundation for me to seek help and learn about other career paths.
 
So, I started calling his network.
 
The second call I made was to his financial planner, Timmy.
 
Timmy taught me that there's 3 things everybody thinks about before they fall asleep.
 
1st: Did I hurt anyone today? If so, you can talk to someone about that.
 
2nd: Am I healthy? If not, you can call your doctor tomorrow - that's my Dad.
 
3rd: Have I made the right financial decisions for my family? That's where I come in.
 
I'm okay with batting 3rd in that lineup.
 
Since that day, I've spent my time simplifying financial decisions for my clients.
 
How I can help you:

➡️Review every year because life happens and things change
➡️Feel confident to make difficult financial decisions
➡️Develop a simple, implementable financial plan
➡️Hold you accountable to your goals

My results:

➡️The best 1st year my agency has ever seen in its 130+ year history
➡️Rookie of the year 2021
➡️New Advisor of the year 2021
➡️Over 100 households (and counting) receiving my help & expertise

Build generational wealth without the money stress | Financial Advisor for Big Tech (Paycom, Oracle, Salesforce) | Top 25 MassMutual Financial Advisor (2024)

You closed $4M in deals this year. You hit President's Club. 

You're making $500K... Why's your bank account look the same as 3 years ago?

Let me guess:

→ $80K commission check hit last month - already gone
→ RSUs vesting quarterly, no idea if you should sell
→ Owed $40K in taxes you weren't expecting
→ Looking at houses you can't tell if you can afford
→ Spouse is stressed about money even though you're crushing quota
→ You're one bad quarter away from serious financial stress

You're a B2B Sales Leader at a high-growth tech company.
You close seven-figure deals for your company.
You advise C-suite executives on complex buying decisions.

But your own finances are in total chaos.

Here's why:

Traditional financial advice doesn't work for enterprise sales.

"Just save 20% and max your 401k" doesn't mean anything when:

Your income swings $50K month-to-month
You have RSUs, ESPP, commission, or bonuses all hitting at different times
Your "income" includes stock that might be up 30% or down 20%
You're taxed at rates that nobody explains properly

You don't need a financial advisor who works with "high earners."

You need someone who works with sales leaders who live in your world.

That's us.

We work with Sales Leaders at B2B SaaS and Tech companies.

Here's what we do:

Phase 1: Stop the Bleeding

→ Commission cash flow system (capture money before it disappears)
→ RSU strategy (minimize the tax hit or concentration when vested)
→ Protection planning (life, disability - so your family is covered)

Phase 2: Build the Buffer

→ Build emergency fund (handle slow quarters without panic)
→ Automate commission capture (money builds wealth before spending)
→ Know what you can actually afford (house, cars, private school - no guessing)

Phase 3: Build Real Wealth

→ Diversify beyond company stock (systematic selling, no emotion)
→ Tax planning with your CPA (keep more of what you earn within your control)
→ Build multiple income streams (not 100% dependent on quota)

The outcome we plan for?

You're not just making money. 
You're keeping it.

You're not just hitting quota. 
You're building generational wealth.

You're not stressed about the next deal. 
You have OPTIONS.

THAT is your Freedom Path.

If you're crushing quota and tired of feeling broke, let's fix that.

Mando Sallavanti III, CFP®, CEPA, ChFC®

Mattia and I paid under $500 for $8,500 flights on the most luxurious business class in the sky → Emirates business class.

New York to Dubai.
Lie-flat seats.
Gourmet meals.
Onboard bar.

Let me show you exactly how we did it:

Step 1: Create a Credit Card Strategy

Last fall, Amex Business Platinum offered me a signup bonus:
250,000 points after $20k spend in 3 months.

My business has more expenses than that each quarter.
No brainer.

Plus, the card is perfect for someone who travels frequently for business (me).
We hit the bonus. Banked the points.

Step 2: Identify Transfer Partners & Find Enhanced Value

If I booked through Amex Travel Portal: 

→ 2 business class tickets to Dubai = $8,500 cash OR 850,000 Amex points 
→ That's 1 cent per point

Instead, Colin Stroud (who's co-hosting this training with me) showed me:

Transfer Amex points → Emirates (1:1 instant transfer)
Book directly with Emirates: → Same 2 business class tickets = 276,000 Emirates points + $470 in fees

We just 3x'd the value of our points by knowing which transfer partner to use.

Step 3: Transfer Points & Book

Transfer took 2 minutes.
Booking took 10 minutes.
Total time invested: 12 minutes.
Total savings: $8,000.

BOOM.

This is what Colin teaches in Monday's training.

The exact transfer partners.
The exact tools to find these deals.
The exact strategy to maximize every point you earn.

This isn't theory.
This is the system I used to book our honeymoon.

AND it can work for YOU.

3 Questions You're Asking:

"Don't I need to spend a fortune to earn enough points?"
No.

If you're spending $50K-$100K/year on credit cards (which most sales leaders are), you're earning 100K-200K points annually.

That's enough for: 

→ Multiple business class flights to Europe 
→ 10+ nights at luxury hotels 
→ Both

You're already spending the money.
You're just getting 1.5% back instead of 5-10x value.

"Isn't this too complicated? I don't have time for this."

It's simpler than you think.

Colin uses tools (Seats.aero, Roame, PointsYeah) that search for deals automatically.

You're not manually checking 15 airline websites.

You type in your destination.
The tool shows you the best points deals.
You book.
Takes 10 minutes.

"What if I don't want to deal with points? Can't I just use cash?"

You can.

But you're choosing to pay $11,246 for business class to Germany instead of 70,000 points.

You're choosing to pay $1,330/night for hotels instead of 25,000 points.

If you make $400K+ and that doesn't bother you, don't come to this training.

But if you'd rather keep that $20K-$30K and use it for something else?

Show up Monday.

Interim Resource Manager

Boeing

Boeing is one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world, with over 140,000 staff across 70 countries. Boeing was awarded a 10 year, 700 million pound IT project working in partnership with the MOD on a logistics programme called Log NEC (Logistics Network Enabled Capability).  Upon joining Boeing I was the first and only Staffing Specialist that worked from the Bristol office.  Due to the length and nature of this contract it evolved into three phases: 

Phase one:  Designed and implemented the resourcing model. Identified multiple issues, designed a process fit for purpose, made recommendations towards continuous improvement, and realigned the resourcing application model. 

Phase two: Resourced new team members and managed the Log NEC resourcing team. Whilst managing the team I regularly reported and updated Log NEC board members, EMEA and Global Resourcing Managers regarding the resourcing team’s activity.

Interim Snr Staffing Specialist (EMEA)

RM Education

Was originally brought onto deal with the 'Building Schools for Future' (BSF) programme which RM were the market leader for.  My role was to be solely accountable for all the contract vacancies (as well as a few technical perm positions).  Advising, recommending and dealing with managers of all levels of seniority, working with highly technical and business based vacancies and providing a very consultative approach were all parts of my day to day work.   

Given the nature of the ever changing BSF project and the speed of turn around the contract market demanded I was always working in a very proactive and reactive environment.  It was not unusual to have a request at 4.00pm on a Friday afternoon for 2 or 3  Monday morning contract starters.  Running the full end to end process from scratch; conducting a spec briefing, advertising (if necessary), searching, negotiating, shortlisting, scheduling interviews I often turned around placements in under an hour (and never more than half a day). This enabled RM to rely on my market knowledge, fast paced and tenacious attitude to getting the job done and generally staying in control from beginning to end.  Spending a lot of time building candidate talent pools and building a network of niche candidates was also a large part of my job in order to minimise the amount of 'reactive work' required.

After 3 months at RM the Government announced the slashing of the BSF budgets.  As a result my work load dropped dramatically.  Although it was a brief contract of 3 months at RM I left on very amicable terms with very positive references.

Interim On Site Snr Recruitment Specialist

Camelot Group PLC

Worked as a Senior On Site Consultant for Camelot the National Lottery Operator and specifically recruited within the Programmes and IT Division.

After being at Camelot for a number of months my role migrated into a slightly more strategic position. I focused predominately on building the new in house PSL Camelot launched. This involved reviewing the current list of multiple agencies, trailing recommended new agencies, collecting all MI reports regarding agency delivery and gathering all significant information from hiring managers across the business. Was also heavily involved in the PSL agency fees and SLA negotiations.

Prior to this I dealt with high volume recruitment and actively filled the roles myself. 

I also managed third party suppliers such as recruitment agencies (for various roles outside my work balance) and additional suppliers such as job boards and service providers.

I provided a consultative approach with all senior level hiring managers advising on recruitment best practices, methods and approaches as well as providing general HR and legal advice. Additionally I regularly advised and mentored more junior consultants within the team. My consultative approach ensured the vacancies were placed within the desired time frames, expectations were managed as well as providing a highly professional service which enabled me to facilitate change.

MI reporting, recruitment reviews, business relationship management and interviewing were also important parts of my role.

Worked on a contract basis until the high volume of vacancies were filled and the new PSL was launched.

► MEET ANGIE: I coach leaders/aspiring leaders to grow in confidence and communicate with more impact, influence and clarity. 10+ years coaching exp', 25 yrs research in my specialisms, 20+ yrs corporate exp' and a little more life experience than I bargained for - let's just say I've become pretty good at the people thing. Keep scrolling for 100+ recommendations.

► WITH WHO: C Suite, MDs, Directors, Heads Of or high achievers who have climbed the corporate ladder, recently been promoted, stressed they won’t hit the demands of their new found responsibility and secretly feel like a fraud. Many second guess themselves, especially around more senior colleagues at the worry of getting something wrong and looking incompetent. Most want to become more assertive, but simply struggle to find the words to deliver difficult messages in a way that will be well received. I work with people privately or with corporates to deliver bespoke 1-2-1 coaching, group coaching & in-house workshops on the topics of leadership communication, authentic assertiveness & how to build inner confidence. My clients are always ambitious and on paper highly successful - yet often say 'to their colleagues they must look like an elegant swan floating on the water but feel like their legs are frantically peddling under the surface'.

► WHY: Many leaders come to me saying "no one would believe it if they knew I felt this way", often stressed, occasionally overreactive and can have difficulty managing upwards. Some have public speaking anxiety and can easily lose sleep over a presentation only to then spend days analysing everything they could have improved on. They are often committed to standing up for their team, but struggle to hold the same boundaries for themselves and are commonly very self-critical. I can help you become a respected integral confident leader, build your confidence and communicate with influence. 

► MY CLIENTS: I have been hired to work with leadership teams from Walt Disney, EasyJet, Amazon, Barclays, KPMG and many other large/SME companies. I have been a keynote speaker multiple times for up to 1000+ people.

► RESULT: My clients grow their confidence, gain enhanced powerful communication and authentic assertiveness skills and generally feel calmer and more fulfilled to lead a life they love.

Leadership Confidence and Assertiveness Coach

There are huge parts of my life I haven’t spoken about publicly - because once spoken, they carry consequences. They’re deeply personal and they matter.

What’s held me back recently has been fear.  

Fear I never expected to feel. 

Fear because when I speak my truth, I open a can of worms I can’t close and I’m conscious it may ignite an utter shit storm too. 

I love my new #vanlife lifestyle, but it hasn’t been about city hopping or chasing rainbows. 

Don’t get me wrong, I will definitely have ace adventures when the time is right. 

But to date I booked a handful of campsites - most of them empty with stunning views. 

No conversations.
No distractions.

I’d have the odd zoom call, maybe see friends & family for a few days - then straight back to solitude again.

I went through days, sometimes weeks, without speaking a word.

I needed that time to pause, reflect, and integrate.

Looking back over the last two years, the best way to describe how I feel is like a having a complete identity death. 

It wasn’t even voluntary or planned. I just had to kinda roll with it as it happened. 

My values haven’t changed - but almost everything else has.

There were moments I worried if my own feelings were real - the changes felt so profound I even questioned if I was just being a dick and imagining it.

But I knew it was real the moment I stopped needing to question it at all. 

I may not appear that different on the outside to others - but I feel completely different internally. 

I know some of this might sound dramatic to some - but it’s the truth. And I’ve reached a place I don’t really give a shit what anyone thinks because I can’t even describe how liberating it feels to finally speak this freely.

The Angie that exists now isn’t who I was six months ago, let alone two years ago.

Now I’m settling into what’s emerged - speaking differently, sharing differently, with a deeper sense of authenticity. 

2025 has been challenging, uncomfortable, and at times fu*kin brutal - but I wouldn’t change a thing about that happened or who I’ve become. 

So yes, I’ve got a lot to share behind the scenes. 

I also know that when I do finally speak more openly, when I share what’s been going on it won’t just be personal to me. 

What I’ve lived through will likely help many others make sense of their own experiences - and that really matters to me. In fact helping others becomes my duty-bound motivation! 

I know I’ve hardly shown a face on LinkedIn this year(+) - because my usual content felt like small talk, and that felt disingenuous. So I just stayed quiet and posted when it felt right. 

As I reach the end of 2025, I feel like I’m wrapping up the end of a huge cycle before my life inevitably unfolds in a completely different direction in 2026. 

I expect 2026 will be the year I speak more of my personal truth. 🙏

But in the meantime, I’m curious, does anyone else feel like 2025 has been a year of massive transformation?

No alternative text description for this image

Combining van-life with dog-sitter life. 

Now we’re talking!! 

You gotta love that text from a friend: 

“Angie our dog sitter has fallen through and we’re off to Italy in 2 days. Any chance you fancy some time in Devon with the dog?” 

I was free - so I jumped at the chance. 

I’ve missed dog energy around me ever since I lost my beautiful Louie. 

Maybe this is a new thing - Vanlifer and part-time dog sitter? 

It amazing the little life style adaptions I’ve unconsciously made though. 

Says a lot when I consider a kitchen as “luxury” because I can take more than 2 steps in it. 😂

Or a shower I don’t need to check the water level first or walk across a field to wash my hair. 💥

Don’t get me wrong I bought the van (Libby) to see different parts of the country and to stay close to friends for a few months who I’d normally only see for a weekend. And I let ve my van. 

I’m excited to see where I’ll take Libby in 2026 - but I’m seriously tempted to make this dog sitting marlarkie a part time life style. 

I know there are websites that I can sign up for that offer this and to be fair people have recommended it to me before. 

I didn’t think I’d enjoy living in someone else’s house - but it’s clean and tidy and there is a dog around allllllll the time it’s actually a lot of fun. 

So if you get stuck, or you’ve a holibobs approaching and you need a live in dog sitter….. ping me a message - I could easily be persuaded.  

You just gotta have a big enough drive to park a 8 metre home on wheels. 😂

I’ve not been officially working for about 6 months so right now I’m more flexible than I’ve ever been. 

Meanwhile….I’d forgotten how hard it is to get a successful selfie with a dog. 😂😂 

Ps) Happy New Year n all that jazz. You’ll be seeing a lot more of me on here in 2026 than last year. 🙏
