Tim Andreas, AIF®

Tim Andreas, CEO/President, has assisted clients in managing their wealth for over 12 years when he founded  Global Management Group in 2013. Tim’s vision was to create a “client-centered organization” dedicated to excellence in delivering exceptional service for our clients and each of his clients across the spectrum of wealth management to identify their goals and to develop, implement and monitor customized solutions while executing strategies in areas where specific needs have been identified. Tim is also focused on the overall management of the practice, office and providing leadership for the direction and vision of  Global Asset Management Group, LLC and the advisors that exemplify the same passion for their clients. 

Tim began as a Financial Advisor in 2001 with Presidential Financial. Throughout his career, Tim’s relationship with his clients grew through some of the most challenging financial times in history and he was recognized as one of the Premier Advisors in the region as well as nationally to other advisors about Financial Plans, Retirement Investing, Growing a Financial Practice and Niche Marketing. After numerous mergers and acquisitions, he saw the shift from client-centered, unbiased advice to company-influenced compensation strategies to drive earnings with little concern for the clients’ best interest. At that point in his career, Tim as a Senior Vice President for Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, was convicted to take the road less traveled. He transitioned his practice from the Wall Street/Bank controlled firms back to his passion, a relationship with the client.

Tim earned his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana in 1988. Tim is a member of the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance and The Chamber of Southwest Louisiana. Tim Co-Chaired, with his wife, Tammy, the American Heart Association 2009 “Heart of a Champion” Heart Gala.

Tim and his wife, Tammy, reside in Lake Charles. They have 4 children and 11 grandchildren. They are members of Christian World Ministries where they both have been involved in numerous ministries for married couples, children, and the Men of Vision group.
