Brighton Jones Expands Wealth Management Footprint to East Coast and Midwest

Robert Bennett Jr., a CFP, will anchor the new Stamford location at 700 Canal Street. He transitions to the firm from Round Rock Advisors, bringing extensive experience in high-net-worth financial planning. Meanwhile, the Detroit-area office in Troy will be managed by Michael Kreza, who previously served as an Assistant Vice President at North Coast Asset Management.

These appointments reflect Brighton Jones' strategy of prioritizing localized expertise to manage over $30 billion in assets under advisement. General Manager Carley Dillon noted that both advisors were selected for their client-first approach, which remains central to the firm’s philosophy of aligning financial portfolios with individual values. Chief Growth Officer Mark Jones attributed the firm’s ongoing geographic reach to its employee-owned structure, which continues to draw experienced talent as the company scales its operations beyond its Seattle roots.
