Chris Hernandez began his career in financial services on October 1, 2008 — the height of the Great Recession. What could have been the end of his journey instead became the foundation of his resilience and passion for helping families achieve financial clarity. With encouragement from his wife, Veronica, and mentorship from a seasoned advisor, Chris persevered through those early challenges and built a practice grounded in discipline, trust, and client service.
In 2012, he qualified for the Million Dollar Round Table and has done so every year since, reflecting a commitment to excellence and industry leadership. Today, as Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Strategic Capital in Austin, Chris leads a fast-growing fiduciary wealth management firm that serves high-net-worth families, professionals, and business owners. Under his guidance, Strategic Capital has earned more than 100 five-star Google reviews and is recognized for combining comprehensive planning with a highly personal client experience.
Beyond his professional achievements, Chris values his role as husband to Veronica and father to three daughters — Logan, Reese, and Leighton. He brings the same dedication to his family life as he does to helping clients pursue financial independence and legacy planning.
Chris’s journey from near failure to building one of Austin’s most respected RIAs reflects his belief that resilience, mentorship, and client-first values are the keys to lasting success.
