Ryan Mitchell

Ryan Mitchell, social entrepreneur, innovator and financial advisor is committed not only to his many clients, but also to those many consider the marginalized of society. To those less fortunate than ourselves, he believes in giving a hand-up and  not a handout, by teaching them innovative, simple ways to secure their future.

Working with the Salvation Army and World Vision, Ryan has helped build an orphanage in Haiti, numerous schools throughout Africa, a seniors home outside the Cuban capital of Havana as well as homes in Barbados and Jamaica. Plus, while in Kenya, he arranged for and provided micro-loans to mothers with aids who wanted to start their own businesses…

Ryan’s hands-on philanthropy, his ongoing social commitment, is made possible, in part, by his success in the world of finance.

At 18, Ryan bought his first condo and after completing his education went on to a successful ten year career in the financial industry, working for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, managing at one time over 150 million dollars of financial assets for over 1000 thousand families. At the same time, he was one a seat at the Chairman’s council and was CIBC’s top advisor for two years.

Over the last decade, Ryan has consulted and provided management expertise to numerous small businesses as well as multi-billion dollar corporations. And he has helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for many of the same.

What’s more, as an innovator Ryan has, among other things, helped develop a unique portable water purifying system that can be sent to war-torn or storm ravaged areas and made ready to help refugees in less than a day.

Ryan received a double major degree in finance from Bishop’s University in 2002, as well as two post graduate diplomas in International Business (High Honours) and Human Resources Management.

At 18, Ryan was one of the youngest instructors in the Canadian Army, and also was one of the youngest patrol commanders ever with the Quick Reaction Force during the Bosnia-Herzegovina conflict. For his service, Ryan received numerous honours, including the Lt. Governors Simcoe Leadership Award and NATO’s Peacekeeping Medal for his humanitarian tour of duty.

Currently, Ryan and his dedicated staff at Legacy Capital Management are focussed on helping clients secure their financial futures while contributing to their communities at the same time. Their mission? To build successful communities one investor at a time.
