Eric Kittner: Empowering People & Helping them Navigate Life's Path

Genuine human connection can be hard to come by these days. Long hours spent working remotely or even in the office can make it hard to find the time or space to connect with others.

But human connection is necessary to make a lasting impact on others. Empowering people and helping them navigate life's path requires human connection, a deeper understanding of the who and why of a person.

Eric Kittner knows just how crucial human connection is to empower people and help them navigate life's path.

As CEO and Chairman of the Board for Moneta, Eric Kittner ushers in the next generation of leadership. After just two years in the role, he has led the firm through their first expansion market launch and also their first RIA merger. During this time the firm has grown to $24 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM), and was ranked by Barron’s in the Top 5 in the nation among independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) for the last two years.

Eric has also continued the firm’s commitment to growth of their employees, as well as the community. He has continued the culture of making employees’ well-being a priority, as evidenced by their continued streak of nominations as a Best Place to Work. He also asks employees to give back to their communities, initiating an employee Volunteer Time Off (VTO) policy of paid leave.
