Peter Kollias

At sixteen, Peter Kollias discovered what would become his lifelong passion when he invested his busboy earnings into his first mutual fund. Watching that initial investment grow sparked a fascination that would shape his future: “It was the coolest thing ever,” he recalls. While his teenage dream of never working again didn’t quite materialize, something far more valuable emerged. a deep-rooted commitment to helping others navigate their own financial journeys.

As a Senior Wealth Advisor and partner at Cresco Wealth Management in Calgary, Peter has extensive education and experience. With his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation, Chartered Investment Manager (CIM®) certification, Derivatives Marketing Specialist (DMS) certification, and an MBA from prestigious Dalhousie University, Peter combines academic excellence with practical wisdom in wealth management.

Beyond finance, Peter embraces life with the same passion and vigor he brings to wealth management.

Together with his wife Penny, he guides their two young children through life’s adventures, whether planting their annual garden or exploring new destinations during family travels.
