Neela Hummel
Abacus Wealth Partners
Industry: Financial services
Neela is CEO of Abacus Wealth Partners, a 100% employee-owned, fee-only, SEC-registered investment adviser and Certified B Corporation that manages $3+ billion based in Santa Monica, CA. Starting as an unpaid intern at Abacus in 2009, Neela has worn many hats. She has helped grow a values-aligned firm that seeks to expand what is possible in our client’s lives through strong financial planning and thoughtful investing while also empowering all employees to bring their best selves to work. An inherent optimist, she believes in a people-first approach to business with a focus on diversity, gender-equity, radical transparency, and vulnerability. As a fierce nerd, she can spreadsheet with the best of them. As a mom of three tiny humans, she can juggle and delegate, all while covered in ketchup. Neela aims to make financial planning more impactful and more accessible (less jargon, more mom jokes). She also believes taking care of people is everything — the key to not just a successful business, but for making the world a better place Neela was named as Investment News’ “40 Under 40” for financial advisors in 2016, one of LA Business Journal’s “Women of Influence: Finance” in 2023 and 2024, and is a graduate of UC Berkeley. In her free time, she loves traveling with her husband and three kids. She’s a fan of horror movies, anything written by Michael Lewis, steak nachos and her Peloton.
