Introducing Shmuel Maya, founder and managing director of Aventura Private Wealth. Having spent over 14 years at a prominent bank, he rose through the ranks to become a high-net worth financial advisor, managing over $350 million in investment assets.

In his free time, he enjoys teaching his young children pickleball, golf, watching classic cartoons with them, and date nights with his wife, Diana.

Patrick Simon

Investor Advisor Representative, VP – Investments

My wealth management career built its foundation at the University of Miami where I first earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Finance. Miami truly became home when I joined J.P Morgan Chase as a banker where I spent 6 years working closely with Shmuel Maya and Andrea Bruno.
Together we created Chase’s most successful investment team in the Southeast gaining over a quarter billion dollars in assets under management. Coming together at Aventura Private Wealth we provide guidance, risk management, and exclusive investment offerings to our select clients.

Andrea Bruno

Senior Registered Client Associate

I began my career in banking at J.P Morgan Chase in 2013 as a Personal Banker. I quickly grew into wealth management working with Shmuel Maya as a Private Client Banker for 7 years. I found most meaning in helping the families of my clients with their legacy planning. This led me to work exclusively with J.P Morgan and Shmuel.
In 2023 I broke off to forge Aventura Private Wealth alongside its founder Shmuel. Together we provide our select clients with timely guidance and risk management in an ever changing economy. As the team grows and the economic environment shifts, I act as the operational foundation and point person to our clients.

Michelle Diamantis

Chief Compliance Officer

My professional career began working with the United Nations where I developed an interest in Financial Markets and wealth management, leading me to pursue a Master of Finance. I moved to Miami and began working as a compliance officer in wealth management.
I have joined Shmuel Maya and the Aventura Private Wealth team as the Chief Compliance Officer. I continue to be involved in my Seton Hall alumni and find my escape scuba diving in the Bahamas.
