Darius Gagne
Chief Investment Officer/Partner at Quantum Financial Advisors
Speaker
Background
Darius Gagne began his career as a quantum physicist, but it was the discovery of The Fountainhead that set him on a different course. Inspired by the Objectivist ideals of independence and purposeful work, he left physics to explore finance and build something of his own. That conviction led him to found Quantum Financial Advisors—an investment firm grounded in reason, integrity, and long-term vision.
​
Today, as the Chief Investment Officer of Quantum Financial Advisors, Darius advises and manages the financial lives of successful families and individuals, enabling them to flourish. His path has been marked by principled entrepreneurship, as he launched his firm in the early 2000s and later made difficult but deliberate decisions to protect the firm’s integrity in the face of growing ideological pressure within the finance industry.
​
Darius’s story is a clear example of Objectivism in action: values translated into vision, and vision into reality. His success reflects not just technical skill, but moral clarity—the kind needed to build a career, and a life, on your own terms.
