About Us
We Don’t Just Manage Growth.
We Design It.
Platinum International Financial Services LLC was founded by Dorothy Abreu, a nationally recognized leader in finance, infrastructure, and community development. With over two decades of experience, including oversight of a $15 billion capital plan and leadership of a $ 2 billion-plus banking portfolio, Dorothy brings a rare blend of financial acumen, strategic foresight, and relational intelligence to every client engagement.
Platinum aims to empower entrepreneurs, especially those from underserved and emerging communities, to grow with clarity, confidence, and cultural authenticity. Our approach is grounded in legacy building, ethical leadership, and a commitment to sustainable systems.

Prior to founding Platinum, I had the privilege of working at the intersection of finance, infrastructure, and enterprise leadership. From guiding billion-dollar public finance portfolios in banking to helping shape strategic direction as a board director, my focus has remained consistent: to build systems that empower people and elevate possibilities.
Platinum International Financial Services LLC was established to advance that mission by providing executive-level financial insight and strategic refinement to entrepreneurs and organizations ready to grow. We act as a trusted partner for those facing complexity, expansion, and change. Whether through fractional CFO services, business development strategies, or enterprise improvement, our aim is to help leaders build with clarity, confidence, and continuity.
This work is personal. I have seen firsthand how access to capital, strategic guidance, and operational infrastructure can change a business’s trajectory and the lives connected to it. I’ve also seen how overlooked potential can hinder progress. Platinum exists to close that gap, offering not just expertise but partnership.
We work with founders who are bold, values-driven, and committed to building something that lasts. Our approach is rigorous yet relational, grounded in financial precision and guided by a deep respect for the human side of enterprise.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains: to deliver excellence, to honor legacy, and to help our clients lead with vision and integrity.
Thank you for considering Platinum as your strategic ally. We look forward to building something extraordinary together.
Warmly,
Dorothy Abreu
