Premiere Female Business Owner


Gabriele Smith
CEO Premier Business Mangement

 

Gabriele Smith, Founder & CEO of Premier Business Management, has become one of the most influential powerbrokers in the entertainment industry. Her current position as leader of one of the fastest growing companies in the industry is by far her proudest achievement in a career that spans a little over a decade. She has re-shaped the nature of the business management industry by starting a firm that skillfully blends accounting and investment vehicles to not only manage her clients' assets, but to assist in wealth creation. It is because of this knowledge and exemplary level of expertise that she commands the respect she receives.

 

At the age of 30, Gabriele left her position as Vice President of Investments at Prudential Securities, Inc. to start Premier Business Management. Prior to Prudential Securities, Gabriele planted the seeds of her financial career at prestigious Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, where she quickly rose through the ranks to capture to title of Associate Vice President of Investments. Armed with her entertainment clients, she decided to set out on her own. She put together a highly trained and experienced staff to fulfill her dream of assisting clients with OVERALL wealth management. Premier was her way of addressing the growing fear that business managers were not complementing investment work. "Its not enough to have a great investment portfolio if you don't have a good accountant to properly prepare your taxes or a good bookkeeper to pay your bills in a timely fashion." Premier Business Management has been embraced largely because of Ms Smith's business acumen, her vast financial and investment knowledge, as well as her dedicated staff members. The firm's clientele is a "who's who" list that includes athletes, senior record label executives, recording artists and other high net worth individuals.

 

Gabriele's determination to ensure that each of her clients have successful business ventures outside of their professional career has turned her into the ultimate dealmaker. She secures real estate, restaurant, hotel and apparel deals for her clients to invest in. Additionally, she oversees all of her clients' assets at major brokerage firms. As if that were not enough, she manages a staff of accountants, bookkeepers, insurance consultants and assistants that execute her clients' financial transactions on a daily basis. How does she keep it all in perspective? She lives by two life principals: First, "Pray as though everything depends on God, then act as though everything depends on you." Secondly: "If you believe your time is valuable, then you will use it well."

 

Premier Business Management, in a short time has accomplished what many firms have taken years to build or simply have yet to achieve. Currently headquartered in New York, Premier also has offices in Dallas, TX and the company is looking to expand to Los Angeles by year's end. Ms Smith believes that Premier Business Management is best at handling the delicate balance between expansion and maintaining close bonds with each of her clients. Her goal is to continue to grow the company by simply "delivering all that we promise and more."
