Anja Pelkola

Anja graduated from Fordham University with a degree in Marketing and International Business and has called New York City home ever since. She began her career in financial technology, where she built relationships with clients across investment banking, private equity, and reinsurance.

From there, Anja moved into branding and strategy for global spirits brands, gaining experience across creative development, positioning, and integrated marketing. In October 2025, she joined Darien Group, where she is excited to continue working within the financial industry and strengthening thoughtful, long-term client relationships. She looks forward to helping grow the New York City team and combining the relationship-building skills from her fintech background with her strategic marketing experience to better serve clients.

Outside of work, Anja is an avid reader (always working toward her Goodreads goal), a dedicated needlepointer, and a seeker of the perfect vanilla latte in New York City.
