Laura Heitland

As Director of Operations and Chief Compliance Officer, Laura cultivates a collaborative, high-performing environment where her team is empowered to serve clients with excellence. She brings expertise from the Ultra-High Net Worth and High Net Worth RIA space, where she helped scale operations to over $3 billion in AUM.

Laura is a proud graduate of the University of Virginia, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree with Distinction, and the College of William & Mary, where she completed her Master’s. Deeply committed to her community, Laura has served on the boards of the Junior League of St. Louis, Gateway Greening, and Kirkwood United Methodist Preschool.

Virginia born and raised, love brought Laura to St. Louis, where she now shares life with her husband, three cats and a garden that’s as vibrant as her personality. She often escapes to New York City or Phoenix to visit their two adult kids.

Outside the office, she’s a devoted “plant mom” and proud caretaker of an award-winning garden that’s become a neighborhood favorite. Laura’s recently picked up pickleball and enjoys tennis, long walks, and dreaming up her next travel adventure. When she’s not digging in her garden or hitting the pickleball court, Laura can be found enjoying her favorite British dramas, grooving to ’80s music in the kitchen, or negotiating couch space with her furry friends.
