BUSINESS STRATEGIST

Hey there! I’m Nikki Gianni, The Small Business Architect, your go-to Business Strategist based in Oxnard. With roots stretching back to Queens, NY, and a journey that’s seen me through 25 years of military discipline and living across ten states, I bring a unique blend of organization, creativity, and straight-talking humor to the table. Now, I know the struggle – not enough leads, profits barely making the cut, and that dreaded high revenue yet low-profit scenario, not to mention the headache of keeping customers and employees happy with zero standard operating procedures in place. Sounds familiar? Well, consider me your architect in fixing that. With an arsenal of tools, techniques, and a groundbreaking 500M algorithm profit-discovering software, plus a network of over 800 business strategists, I'm here to remodel your business struggles into success stories. So, how about we schedule a quick coffee talk? Let’s find out how to elevate your business with a sprinkle of laughter and loads of expertise. Reach out, and let’s make magic happen!

Wealth Manager | Board Director of kidSTREAM Childrens' Museum

As a wealth manager and Certified Retirement Counselor® (CRC®) at Powell Financial Group, I'm passionate about building long-term, meaningful relationships, and helping clients identify, pursue, and achieve a life that brings fulfillment and joy. Creating impact by guiding clients in aligning their personal values and finances with their philanthropic goals is what I find most rewarding about my profession. I look forward to meeting other like-minded individuals and families who are equally committed to enhancing their impact through charitable giving. 

Standing by the importance of investing not just in one’s own future, but in society’s as well, I support and volunteer for various charitable organizations. I am a board director of Ventura County's emerging children's museum, kidSTREAM, and sit on the board alongside some of the most distinguished members of our local community. We all share the common desire to inspire and empower kids of Ventura County to become critical thinkers, innovators, and lifelong learners.  I'm the current Chairwoman of the Development Committee and welcome you to join me in building this incredible gift for our community and being a part of Ventura County history!   

In my most fulfilling role as a volunteer, I mentored a “little sister” through Big Brothers Big Sisters for 10 years and helped my “little sister” achieve her goal of being the first person in her family to graduate from high school! 100 Women Who Care Conejo Valley, Childfund, Compassion International, The Conejo Valley Village, Raising Hope, Organic Soup Kitchen, and Lighthouse Church are just a few of the organizations I support. 

What is most important to me is spending time and making memories with my husband and three kids. In my “spare time” you will find me giving back to the community, reading a book or napping for relaxation, or camping, traveling, or cooking for fun!
