Patrick Gilligan
Director, Wealth Advisors
As Director of Wealth Advisors for Empower, I oversee a team of Wealth Advisors and ensure delivery on the team’s commitment to Empower’s customers and values. My primary focus is aligning customer and company success to create win-win scenarios.
I joined Empower in 2016. Since then, I have worked directly with customers to provide financial plans and solutions, led teams to provide consistent outcomes, and launched new initiatives to allow Empower to provide better customer experiences. Prior to joining Empower, I worked for a small registered investment adviser (RIA) through Signator Investors, where I focused on holistic experiences for the customers I served.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in economics from Bates College. I currently maintain Series 63 and 65 state securities licenses and hold FINRA Series 7 and 24 credentials, and I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM professional.
I was born and raised in Massachusetts and recently relocated from New England to Denver. Outside work, I am an avid football fan and love to get out on the water. I enjoy all types of boating with family and friends. In Denver, I look to add to my list of passions with skiing and hiking.
