Liz Gillette is a Founder and Senior Advisor at Curio Wealth. She earned her Bachelor of Business Administration from George Washington University, where she was an all-conference Division I volleyball player and a Dean’s List student. She joined the advising industry in 2013 and earned her CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification from Northwestern University in 2016.
At Curio, Liz works with individuals and couples in their 30s through 50s navigating the complexities of work, life, and caregiving. With couples, she creates space for both partners to feel heard and involved, supporting thoughtful decisions that reflect what matters most.
Her work is grounded in a simple idea: money should support the life you actually want to live. She helps clients align their spending with their values, without judgment, and find a balance between enjoying today and planning for the future. As both a leader and advisor, Liz is known for her ability to listen deeply and simplify the complex.
Liz’s insights have been featured in publications such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and MarketWatch, where she shares perspective on navigating complex financial decisions like inheritances and other pivotal life moments. She was named one of NAPFA’s “Women to Know” in 2024.
Liz’s commitment to giving back reflects her belief in showing up where it matters most. She supports children and families through foster care advocacy (CASA), pediatric hospice programs (Hospice of the Chesapeake), and youth mentorship (TCP). She also serves as Vice President of Anne Arundel Women Giving Together (AAWGT), a collective grantmaking organization that strengthens women and children in her community.
Outside of work, Liz enjoys spending time with her family, creating as many memories as possible with her husband and three kids. She loves interior design and is always thinking about creating spaces that feel both beautiful and welcoming. One of her long-term goals is to take her family to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, inspired by attending the 1996 Games as a child.
