“I am very grateful for the opportunities and mentors I’ve had throughout my career. In particular, founding Triangle Financial Advisors in 2007 was a great challenge and privilege. When I merged Triangle Financial with LifeTime Asset Management in 2017, I was purposely putting a transition plan in place. I researched literally every independent financial planning and investment firm in the Triangle area and chose LifeTime as the company whose advisors would care about and take care of my clients the way I have,” said Lorraine. “The past 6 years have confirmed my decision. I am confident my clients are in very capable hands with LifeTime’s team of experienced, dedicated and professional advisors. The recent Raleigh’s Best award is a testament to that fact. I am looking forward to having more time for family, friends and hobbies. I’m also happy to say that I will continue working with the LifeTime team in a mentorship role.”
As we bid farewell, we celebrate her well-deserved retirement and wish her happiness and relaxation as she embarks on this new chapter of her life. To honor Lorraine’s incredible contributions, we will be hosting a retirement celebration in the Spring of 2024. We hope you will join us in showing your appreciation for Lorraine’s dedication and achievements. Further details will be shared in the near future. Meanwhile, we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
