About Emilio de Sousa
Emilio de Sousa is a Managing Director, Wealth Management, Financial Advisor, and Senior Portfolio Management Director with The Skyline Wealth Management Group at Morgan Stanley. For over 30 years, he has been committed to guiding executives, business owners, and families through the many complexities of their financial life.
Emilio began his career as a financial advisor at Wells Fargo in 1995. In his tenure at the Firm, he established and grew a team of advisors with the breadth of experience and insight to provide clients with a truly comprehensive approach to wealth management. In 2010, he brought the team over to Morgan Stanley, seeking to enhance his offering with the resources of a global leader in financial services. In 2017, Emilio and Allan Walsworth merged their respective teams and they now oversee a team of fourteen financial professionals all working toward one mission: to provide seasoned guidance on every aspect of clients' financial lives.
As a Senior Portfolio Management Director, Emilio’s emphasis is on the capital markets and asset management -- with a special focus on aligning client portfolios with their customized financial plans. While his approach centers on his clients’ unique goals and challenges, his rigorous analysis of market conditions helps shield their wealth from volatile economic environments. That said, Emilio believes that successful wealth management extends far beyond selecting the right investment opportunities. He places a strong emphasis on comprehensive financial planning that encompasses short-term financial needs, medium-term goals, and long-term aspirations. He is committed to being an ever-present resource in his clients’ lives — a trusted guide to help them navigate their financial futures for decades, and even generations down the line.
Emilio lives in San Jose, was married for almost 22 years (widowed in 2021), has four children, three dogs and two cats. Outside the office, Emilio enjoys spending time with his kids, working out, playing basketball and being engaged in his local church. He graduated from San Jose State University with a concentration in Business Marketing and Economics.
