With over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, Gus Panos brings a wealth of expertise to his role as a Managing Director, Wealth Management Advisor, and partner at Panos Firek Wealth Management. Throughout his distinguished career, Gus has held high-level management and institutional sales roles. However, his true passion has always been working directly with individuals and families.
Gus and his dedicated team are deeply committed to helping high net worth and affluent clients achieve their personal and financial goals with unwavering confidence. They take great pride in building relationships based on trust, exceptional service, and financial guidance.
Collaborating closely with his business partner, Jason Firek, Gus focuses on providing comprehensive wealth management solutions to clients who may not have the time, discipline, or expertise to manage their own wealth effectively. He diligently reviews client portfolios, making necessary adjustments to align with their goals, risk tolerance, and economic cycles. By working with clients to create and implement a plan designed to help, Gus strives to see his clients achieve their financial aspirations. Witnessing families and individuals realize their financial goals after years of sound advice and commitment to a financial plan is the most rewarding aspect of his profession.
Gus earned a bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University in 1991, where he also played collegiate soccer and captained the team during his Junior and Senior years. After his playing days concluded, he continued his passion for soccer by coaching youth soccer at a high level within his community. These days, he enthusiastically follows and supports the English Premier League. During his leisure time, Gus finds solace being on the water, whether it's boating or fishing in the summer on Lake Huron or the winter on the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, he is an avid cook who enjoys exploring new recipes on the weekends. Gus and his wife, Jennifer, proudly reside in Rochester Hills and are loving parents to their two children, Kara and Jack.
