Mr. Chris Gatsch is the Co-Founder, President & COO of Alta Vera Global Capital Advisors and Founder & Managing Partner of Lake House Private Wealth Management. Mr. Gatsch focuses on building a modern, institutional-grade advisory and capital platform that blends wealth management, private markets, and strategic capital solutions for advisors and their clients.

At Alta Vera Securities, his work centers on capital raising and access, introducing private market opportunities through Stonehaven and creating an open-architecture platform advisors can truly scale on. His team concentrates on sourcing differentiated managers, structuring thoughtful capital solutions, and giving advisors a clear path to grow, monetize, and expand their practices.

Before launching Alta Vera and Lake House, Mr. Gatsch began his career at Merrill Lynch and later joined JPMorgan, working across wealth management, capital markets, and lending for high-net-worth families. Those experiences shaped his belief that clients and advisors deserve institutional capabilities delivered without the friction and delays of large firms.

Outside of work, he spends most of his time with his wife, Ali, and their three children, and stays active in community and school initiatives.

Mr. Gatsch currently holds Series 7, 24, and 66 licenses with FINRA.
