Colleen Dean profiled in San Antonio Business Journal

Texas State University alumna Colleen Dean was recently profiled by the San Antonio Business Journal.

The Victoria native, who used her fashion merchandising bachelor’s degree as a springboard into a successful business career, now handles private wealth management for J.P. Morgan in San Antonio.

She shared her journey through job transitions as well as her thoughts on financial planning, glass ceilings and technology.

“I like math. It tells you a story.” And numbers do tell the Colleen Dean story. As managing director of private wealth management at J.P. Morgan, Dean spends her day going over the numbers with her clients and doling out advice on how to make them all add up.

Math aside, Dean considers herself a listener and problem-solver. “This is a people business,” she says, accented in her friendly Texas way. “It’s about relationships and helping achieve goals. I just love meeting and helping people.”

As a way of “giving back” to Texas State, Dean is involved with the McCoy College of Business Administration Advisory Board.
