Mosaic doesn't want to just work with you, we want to really get to know you. Our own life experiences inform what we do and why we do it. Each of us is pleased to tell you more about ourselves.
Eric Jaffe
CEO & Co-Founder
Eric is the CEO and co-founder of Mosaic Wealth Partners. He oversees Mosaic’s financial planning process, serves as the firm's co-investment strategist and portfolio manager, and manages the firm's retirement income distribution strategies.
Eric has worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years. He particularly enjoys helping pre-retirees and retirees develop investment management strategies to weather the volatility of markets and achieve their personal goals. Prior to co-founding Mosaic Wealth Partners, Eric established and ran Jaffe Financial Management, and was an advisor at The Washington Group and AXA Advisors.
Eric began his career as an attorney at Ross, Dixon & Masback, LLP, in Washington, D.C., and then at the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. Eric represented national corporations and government agencies in diverse matters such as insurance law, contract disputes, and constitutional law, including one case in which he represented NASA and the Air Force in defense of their award of a multi-billion dollar contract. Eric’s legal experience helped instill in him the skills he applies to his financial practice today, including planning and implementing strategies for the short, intermediate, and long term, coordinating multiple professionals to achieve his clients’ goals, providing the highest level of client service, and assessing the pros and cons of different approaches.
Eric earned a Bachelor of Arts at Amherst College and a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Michigan Law School. Eric earned the Accredited Investment Fiduciary and Retirement Income Certified Professional® designations and holds FINRA Series 7, 66, and 24 securities registrations through Commonwealth Financial Network® as well as a Life and Health Insurance license.
Eric is actively involved in his community and is passionate about the arts and sports. He serves on the board of The Atlas, a performing arts center in Washington, D.C., and on the Finance Committee of Leveling the Playing Field, a non-profit organization that provides sports equipment to underserved youth.
Eric lives in Chevy Chase, Maryland, with his wife and three children. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, is still working on taking his golf game to another level, and, after years of heartache, continues to celebrate the Washington Capitals' Stanley Cup victory. Eric also plays the drums when he can find some willing bandmates.
Chris Williams
CIO & Co-Founder
Chris is the CIO and a co-founder of Mosaic Wealth Partners. Chris serves as co-investment strategist and primary portfolio manager for the firm. He is responsible for developing strategies to control and manage the overall volatility of Mocaic’s portfolios, a key tenet of the firm’s investment models. Chris also works closely with the firm’s 401k and other related Employer-Sponsored Retirement plans.
Chris is in his 25th year in the Investment and financial services industry, covering a wide range of sub-fields. Prior to co-founding Mosaic Wealth Partners, Chris built his own advisory and planning practice, working with both individual and business clients to help them achieve their goals. He also spent several years working alongside the Premier and Private Banking divisions of several major institutions, helping with overconcentrated stock positions and Insurance and Estate related protection planning.
Most significant to his current role, Chris initially worked as a proprietary trader of both equities and commodities. This includes time spent on institutional global trade desks of a multinational firm, and, prior to that, on the floors of the New York Board of Trade and the New York Mercantile Exchange. In both cases, Chris' primary focus was a mathematical based approach using options and derivatives strategies.
Chris graduated in 1997 from the University of Notre Dame with degrees in economics and computers.
Chris resides in Annandale, VA with his wife, Maren, his son, Henrik, and daughter, Reese. They all take care of their wonderful, three-legged dog, Bombur. Chris is an avid sports fan, a lover of music and reading, and an occasional golfer when he can find the time. In 2021, he took on the challenge of coaching his son’s hockey team, as well as his daughter's basketball team.
