Damien Saccani, CFP®
Founder & President
Damien is the founder and President of Maiden Cove Capital, and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. He works with individuals, families, and business owners, many of whom are in the entertainment industry, to help them navigate the complexities that come with achieving financial success.
Damien's work earned him recognition while at Morgan Stanley as a Global Sports & Entertainment Director, a designation that acknowledged his ability to solve the sophisticated needs and dynamics of clients in those industries. His title was earned by fewer than 1% of the firm's advisors.
