Mario J. Brassini
MBA
Chief Operating Officer
Articulate, compelling and passionate, it’s hard not to get excited about a topic when mario brassini starts talking about it.
One of those topics just happens to be client service. “I have high expectations of others when it comes to service,” Mario admits. “Knowing the quality of service I would want to receive helps me proactively contribute to the kind of client experience we seek to deliver.” As the Chief Operating Officer of The Curran Group, Mario has quite a bit of say into how clients experience the boutique financial planning firm.
A former Verizon executive, Mario took an early retirement package in 2001. Soon thereafter, the Princeton grad decided he needed to stay intellectually engaged, and re-entered the job market. In 2012, Scott Curran offered Mario a job that certainly did not match his former executive pay, but also came with a lot less stress and a lot more freedom. “I had planned well for retirement, so I could afford to take a position that allowed me the flexibility to focus on my biggest passion – my family.”
Day-to-day, Mario is responsible for leading the behind-the-scenes team that ultimately delivers the services the firm’s clients rely on. He is process-driven, particular, precise, and committed to follow-through. “I love my work at The Curran Group, because it frees our advisors to spend quality time with clients, and that in turn allows people to live the lives they choose to live,” Mario says with pride.
A loving father and husband, Mario’s immediate family consists of his wife, Lori, their twin boys, Andrew and Mario, and their two dogs, Merlot and Kiko.
Mario is a graduate of Princeton University. He earned his MBA at NYU’s Stern School of Business. He resides with his family in Mendham, New Jersey.
