Heike Lautenschlaeger
Associate Advisor
I joined the Chicory Wealth team as an Associate Advisor in November 2023. This is a career change for me, and I feel privileged to be able to combine my passion for personal finance with the opportunity to work alongside clients, helping them to achieve their financial and life goals.
Before joining Chicory Wealth, I spent 12 years in the international nonprofit sector, working with various organizations, including the United Nations, primarily on labor and migrant worker rights. This work took me to Australia, Cambodia, Peru, Thailand, and Switzerland, experiences that have enriched my understanding of diverse cultures and global issues.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Development and a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of New South Wales, Australia, with majors in Business Economics, Finance, and Spanish. I am currently a candidate for CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification and am looking forward to continuing to expand my financial planning knowledge to best meet our clients’ needs.
For me, a balanced life includes values-driven work, quality time with family and friends, being outdoors hiking, camping, or skiing, and community connection. I’m now settled in the Pacific Northwest, calling Seattle home, where I live with my husband and our two rescue dogs, Joey and Sazi.
