Most recently, Pinar spent more than eight years at Florida Atlantic University, where she worked at the intersection of entrepreneurship, technology commercialization, and investment. In her role, she worked closely with startup founders, investors, mentors, and community partners, helping entrepreneurs prepare for investment opportunities and connect with the resources and relationships needed to grow.
Throughout her career, Pinar has developed a passion for solving problems, understanding the story behind the numbers, and building meaningful relationships. These interests ultimately led her back to wealth management and to Cary Stamp & Co., where she is excited to assist advisors in helping clients navigate their financial goals and make informed decisions about their futures. She has also passed Levels I and II of the CFA Program and enjoys continuing to expand her knowledge of investing and financial planning.
Outside of work, Pinar enjoys traveling, discovering new places, and spending time with family and friends. She has a genuine curiosity about technology and has recently become fascinated with artificial intelligence. In her free time, she enjoys experimenting with AI tools, building small agents and automations, and finding creative ways technology can make everyday work smarter and more efficient.
