Background

About Dave Skillen

My passion for investing and finance began when I first read The Wealthy Barber book, sparking a lifelong interest in personal finance. As Vice President of Sales at Lysander Funds, I partner with financial advisors across Atlantic Canada to help them deliver exceptional client outcomes. By providing expertise in Mutual Funds, ETFs, and Liquid Alternatives, I strive to simplify asset management and empower advisors to achieve their clients' financial goals. After refining my skills in Toronto’s financial industry, I returned home to Atlantic Canada to leverage my market knowledge and deep-rooted commitment to advancing the advisory profession. A proud native of Fredericton, New Brunswick, I earned my degree in Finance from St. Francis Xavier University, where I also competed as a varsity athlete. Outside of work, I’m happiest spending quality time with my young family and exploring the outdoors on weekend adventures with our dog, Stella.
