Martina Jimenez started her business career early, forming numerous business ventures with neighborhood children in her native Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.  With a strong knack for business and leadership skills, Martina naturally led these ventures, serving as CEO or President.  Her instincts for business and leadership were also groomed by a generation of strong and intelligent women who insisted she never stepped aside or behind anyone – and she’s still going strong.  With over 15 years experience in the financial industry, Ms. Jimenez is a Financial Adviser with Eagle Strategies, LLC, a subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company, and has owned her practice in Atlanta for 8 years.  Prior to Eagle Strategies, LLC, Martina worked as a Private Banker for Bank of America and worked in the mortgage industry.  She attended the University of Georgia, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts & Sciences degree.

As a Registered Investment Adviser, Martina provides her clients a vast range of personalized services including wealth management, education, retirement and business planning, estate preservation, family wealth transfers and charitable giving.  Martina provides custom tailored strategies for each client, understanding the unique needs that require her financial expertise.  Helping her clients attain financial independence is more than a goal, it is her commitment.  With a relentless work ethic, Martina’s dedication to her clients is well know in the industry and valued by her impressive clientele.
