About Marco Ottonello

Marco wants to empower international professionals in navigating the financial complexities of living and working across multiple countries, at different stages of life.

Born and raised in Italy, Marco has firsthand experience living and working in Europe, the U.S., and Asia. He specializes in helping expat professionals and families with international ties—whether through work, marriage, or a global lifestyle. Marco’s approach begins with understanding both your immediate financial needs and your family’s long-term goals, helping you define and live the life of your dreams.

Partnering with Modern Family Finance in the U.S. and a network of international specialists, Marco offers tailored financial advice for cross-border situations that are often overlooked by traditional firms, such as retirement contributions from different countries and systems, taxation on real estate abroad and much more.

With over 15 years in the tech industry, Marco served as General Manager at a Fortune 500 tech company. He graduated from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy, and earned an MBA from Harvard Business School.

The birth of his twin boys led him to reevaluate his career. During a year-long paternity leave, Marco realized the importance of strategic financial planning for a fulfilling international life. This transformative experience inspired him to focus on helping families navigate their own financial journeys and live their dream lives.

Now based in the Bay Area with his wife, Yawen, and their twin boys, Carlo and Luca, Marco is ready to help you create and execute a financial plan tailored to your unique international situation. Book a free consultation here.
