Brian Altounian has more than 34 years of experience in the entertainment and technology industries. He has served as a C-level executive for a number of companies and has had much success helping early-stage ventures raise capital and pursue exit strategies such as acquisitions and going-public initiatives.  In the entertainment industry, he has served as a Producer, Executive Producer and Co-Producer of a number of television and film projects, including COWBOYS & ALIENS, AUDREY, LOST IN WOONSOCKET, and “Random 1” among others.

His greatest pride & joy is being a father to three children including a 28-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with Apraxia, Microcephaly and Developmental Delays at the age of 18 months, but who, despite being told all of the “normal” life experiences she would miss out on, has been a wife, a step mother, and a middle-school teacher (just SOME of the things that her Dr. said she would never be able to do.) 

Brian’s second daughter is 25, graduated college with honors and is now living and working in the tech industry in Tel Aviv, Israel.  Brian also has 17-year-old son who is in high school and who was recently diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, further rooting Brian to the community of special needs and the medically complex. 

After entering the financial services industry almost 10 years ago educating and serving families about wealth maximization and financial independence.  Just over 8 years ago, he decided to focus a portion of his business on serving families with members who have special needs.

As part of his service to this community, he is the co-creator and co-host of the weekly podcast “Just Two Dads,” and the co-founder of The Den, which was created to foster community among men who are parents or caregivers to the neurodivergent or those with special needs.  He currently serves on the Board of Yes I Can Unity Through Music & Education, which provides skills training for opportunities in the entertainment industry to young adults with disabilities.  He also serves on the Board of We Are Brave Together, a non-profit support group for mothers of those with special needs. He lives in Los Angles, California.
