Melissa Prusky

Associate Investment Advisor

With over 26 years of business experience, I joined the predecessor firm to Macquarie Private Wealth as an Investment Advisor in July of 2008, which gave my clients access to more offerings, products and services and an excellent platform to assist in their wealth management. Previously, I worked with Northern Securities where my investment career began.

An entrepreneur born and bred, I have founded, built and sold three companies. Two of them were in the telecom sector and were sold to Sprint and a division of Telus in Manitoba; the third was a technology company that was sold to a San Francisco firm.

I studied Business Management at George Brown College and in addition to securities related courses I also have my insurance license. Being very passionate about charitable activities, I am active in supporting and fundraising for Sick Kids Hospital. I am also very involved with the Breast Cancer Foundation as a committee member for their annual “Golf Fore The Cure” event held every summer.

I have two grown daughters and love spending time with them and the rest of family. In my spare time I love to travel and play golf.
