Out To Lunch: In It For The Money

Grant Morris
/
It's New Orleans

There are a lot of great reasons to live in New Orleans, but “making money” is not typically at the top of the list. Even though the business climate is undeniably better here now than we’ve seen in decades, money is not what drives most of us.

But of course, we can’t live without it. So thankfully there are New Orleanians who devote themselves to looking after money, and two of them are Peter's guests this week on Out to Lunch.

Suzanne Mestayer is CEO of Thirty North Investments. Suzanne is an investment and financial adviser for businesses and individuals — and in her spare time she’s on the Board of the New Orleans branch of the Federal Reserve.

Marianne Van Meter is founder and Managing Director of Legacy Capital. Marianne specializes in investment and financial strategies for private companies.

Peter Ricchiuti is the finance professor you wish you had back in college! His insight and humor have twice made him the top professor at Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business. After a successful career on Wall Street, Ricchiuti served for five years as Assistant State Treasurer and Chief Investment Officer for the State of Louisiana. There he skillfully managed the State's $3 billion investment portfolio.
