Siobhan Matty
Assistant First Vice President, Financial
Advisor, St. Germain Investment
Management: Age 35
Siobhan Matty recalls her father’s commentary when
Paul Marchese, director of Business Development for St.
Germain Investment Management, suggested she join the
firm her dad served as president.
“His response was, ‘you can hire her — I can’t,’” she said with
a laugh, adding that, eventually, he did, suggesting that her
strong social skills would translate well into work as a financial
advisor — and work within the community as well.
Turns out, he was right about all that.
Indeed, Matty has established herself as an advisor with a strong
ear, and also one with a big heart, volunteering her time, energy,
and talent to several institutions and causes.
“Siobhan’s advancement in this field is a direct result of her
earnest and compassionate nature,” wrote Mary Orr, media
specialist for Trinity Health Of New England, who got to know Matty
when she became friends with her daughter. “She gets to know her
clients as people with needs, not only as the individual they are, but
also with needs that may change as they age due to illness, divorce,
or loss of a loved one.”
When asked what she liked about her work, Matty was direct. “I
like helping people; it’s that simple — knowing what they have and
what they need to do. It’s not about ‘what’s the hot stock?’ — and
you do get asked that sometimes. I tell them, ‘that’s not what
we’re doing.’”
While listening to her clients and helping them
meet their financial goals, Matty is also involved in
the community on many levels.
She currently serves as a board member and a
development committee member for Glenmeadow
Retirement Community and as a board member
and marketing committee member for the
Springfield Public Forum. She has previously
served on boards for the Ronald McDonald House
in Springfield and New Haven, Conn., the United
Way of Pioneer Valley, and Link to Libraries.
She also volunteers with Junior Achievement of
Western Massachusetts, most recently participating
in the organization’s 20th annual Stock Market
Challenge, and as a celebrity bartender at the
agency’s recent fundraiser.
Giving back has been a pattern throughout her life and
career. Indeed, following the suicide death of a high
school friend, she worked with that friend’s mother
to organize the Kayla Rae Clark Walk to raise money
to support the addiction recovery program at the
former Providence Behavioral Hospital in Holyoke.
That’s just more example of how Matty has
always focused on making a difference in the lives of others.

On behalf of the professionals here at St. Germain Investment Management, congratulations to the
40 Under 40 Class of 2026! This is an honor that cannot be overstated. You’ve arrived at a milestone that
can never change or be taken away. Each of you have demonstrated competencies, hard work and outreach
that are meaningful not only to your co-workers, but to others in your communities.
Being a 100+ year business here in western Massachusetts, we can appreciate that your successes are
shaped—in part—by your family, friends and others that are part of your journey. In a way, this recognition
acknowledges those who have helped you in your best interests. It’s rare for any one person to solely claim
success as a product of just their own efforts. The kind of success that’s meaningful in life, is the one which
includes those who shared your drive and sense of purpose.
So then, you’ve used up your thirties and now it’s on to your forties [and beyond!]. We’re grateful for who
you are, and proud of your accomplishments. Look just how far each of you have come.
