MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

LaVaisha Davis

From Entrepreneur to Family Wealth Architect

LaVaisha Davis the Founder of Ell Wess Advisors is no stranger to the unique needs of those creating wealth. As she has spoken on many times, the late nights, the calculated risks, and the wins no one clapped for created pressure that didn't go away when the revenue came in.

From 2014 to 2019—starting, scaling, and successfully exiting companies while navigating what it means to build real wealth as a first-generation entrepreneur was no easy feat.

After experiencing liquidity events, starting a family, and reaching milestones that once felt impossible, she realized something no one talks about:

Wealth doesn’t simplify life—it complicates it.

The accessible financial tools fragmented,  and the traditional wealth management model? It wasn’t built for someone on the journey she and her family were on—someone who had built their wealth, not inherited it.

That’s why she founded Ell Wess Advisors.

Where We Are Now...

The Vision Was Clear

Ell Wess was born to remove the limitations of conventional planning and give first-generation wealth creators the sophisticated, family-first strategy they deserve. She built this firm to be a multi-family office—one that doesn’t just manage money, but manages complexity, relationships, and long-term vision.

Today, Ell Wess Advisors serves over a dozen client families, helping them align their financial decisions with their values, protect what they’ve built, and create a legacy that lasts.
