About Me
Imran is a Senior Investment Advisor with over 20 years of experience in the financial industry. For more than 15 of those years, he had the privilege of being mentored by his close friend and industry veteran, Rob Laidlaw — a relationship that profoundly shaped Imran’s client-first philosophy, rooted in trust, transparency, and thoughtful decision-making.
Imran joined Acumen after transitioning from a large Alberta-based firm, seeking a more independent and collaborative environment. At Acumen, he found the freedom to offer personalized advice and a diverse range of financial solutions — allowing him to better align his services with each client’s unique goals and values.
Throughout his career, Imran has been committed to helping clients navigate the complexities of financial markets and build long-term financial security. Originally from the West Coast, he completed his education there before settling in Calgary nearly 20 years ago.
Outside the office, Imran is a proud husband and father of two — a daughter who’s active in dance and soccer, and a son who’s passionate about hockey. Along with his supportive spouse, the family enjoys cheering on their kids at sporting events, watching hockey together, and exploring beach destinations whenever they can. Imran believes in the importance of balancing hard work with quality time spent with loved ones — a value that also guides his approach to building lasting client relationships and supporting their long-term success.
A Strong, Collaborative Team Providing Objective Advice
Working alongside his trusted associate, Loredana Alaia, and the broader Acumen support team, Imran leads a group of professionals dedicated to putting clients’ interests first. The team’s collaborative environment ensures that every financial plan benefits from a range of specialized insights and perspectives, delivering well-rounded, objective advice clients can count on.
