David Adefeso

David Adefeso is the Founder and CEO of the full-service financial advisory firm The Pacific Group (TPG) and Sootchy Inc. (Sootchy), a mobile and desktop college savings platform. His experiences at TPG, which provides innovative investment strategies and wealth management services to individuals and families, made him realize that many American’s lack financial literacy—especially when it comes to saving for higher education. As an immigrant and self-made financial success, his desire to give back inspired him to launch Sootchy in the fall of 2020 to help families across the economic spectrum avoid the crushing blow of student debt.
