The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is proud to honor Anne McCabe, BA Economics '06, with the 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award in Latin American studies.
McCabe has gone from Wall Street to entrepreneur. Before founding Curo Private Wealth in 2014, she spent a decade gaining Wall Street experience with Ameriprise Financial, UBS, and Wells Fargo.
She naturally sees potential in everything. Where there is potential, skillful development is required. Anne’s dedication to recognizing and developing the potential she sees in other people and circumstances makes her an exceptional advisor and business leader.
McCabe’s passion for learning and development is evident in her desire to obtain several of the most respected designations in the industry. She acquired the Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor SM designation from the College for Financial Planning in 2007. In 2011, she acquired the prestigious CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER TM certification through Georgetown University and the CFP® Board, meeting rigorous education, examination, experience, and ethics requirements.
McCabe has consistently been on Washingtonian magazine’s Top Money Advisors1 since 2016 and was named to Investment News’ national list of “40 Under 40” financial advisors2 in 2017. Since 2015, she has also consistently been selected for the Five Star Wealth Manager3 award, listed in Washington Post Magazine.
The College of Humanities and Social Sciences honors distinguished alumni each fall at Community and Catalysts: Achievements, Awards, and Innovations. This signature event is a celebration of alumni, faculty, and students whose leadership, research, and service have made outstanding contributions to their fields, communities, and to the university.
