Laroux became an equity partner at this firm in January 2024 and has helped grow its assets under management from $50 million to $500 million. Another of his top professional achievements is earning the certified financial planner designation.

Professional motto:

“It takes what it takes.” –Nick Saban

Proud professional moment:

Being chosen as adviser of the year last year by our team (internally). It’s one thing for a client to refer you to their friends on the basis of great planning, but it’s a whole new level when your colleagues, including interns and operational staff, see the work you put in and give you props for it. I didn’t get a trophy or a cash prize or anything, I was just called out in the room that matters.

Potential alternative career:

A spy or diplomat. My degree is in global diplomacy with a concentration on the Middle East. I took four semesters of Arabic at LSU. I’d likely be working for one of the alphabet agencies.
