Meet the Financial Minds Behind Soravianquel
Our team combines decades of experience in budget strategy, financial planning, and economic research. We're passionate about making financial literacy accessible and practical for everyone who wants to take control of their financial future.
Marcus Thorne
Chief Financial Strategist
Marcus started his career analyzing municipal budgets in Vancouver back in 2008, right when the financial crisis was teaching everyone harsh lessons about financial planning. After watching too many people struggle with basic budgeting concepts, he became obsessed with finding better ways to teach financial literacy.
What sets Marcus apart isn't just his CPA designation or his years working with credit unions across Western Canada. It's his ability to break down complex financial concepts into actionable steps that actually work in real life. He's the person who figured out our signature budget allocation method that's helped thousands of Canadians finally get their finances on track.
These days, Marcus splits his time between developing new educational content and personally reviewing the trickiest financial cases that come through our platform. When he's not working, you'll find him hiking the North Shore mountains or experimenting with sourdough bread recipes.
The People Who Make It Happen
Each team member brings unique expertise and a genuine commitment to financial education
Elena Vasquez
Senior Budget Analyst
Elena has this incredible talent for spotting budget patterns that most people miss completely. She spent eight years working with families in financial distress through Toronto's community centers, which taught her that everyone's financial situation is unique. Her background in behavioral economics helps her understand why people make certain financial decisions, and more importantly, how to help them make better ones.
David Chen
Research Director
Before joining Soravianquel, David worked as a policy researcher for the Bank of Canada, where he specialized in household debt trends. He's the person behind our quarterly reports on Canadian spending patterns, and he has this amazing ability to translate dry economic data into insights that actually help people understand their own financial habits. David's research forms the backbone of all our educational materials.
What Drives Us Every Day
Real Education
We believe financial education should be practical and actionable, not filled with jargon that leaves people more confused than when they started.
Genuine Support
Every person who comes to us gets individual attention. We're not interested in one-size-fits-all solutions because everyone's financial situation is different.
Honest Guidance
We'll never promise unrealistic results or quick fixes. Building solid financial habits takes time, and we're here to support that journey with realistic expectations.
