Managing Director

mgallihugh@investdavenport.com

For more than 30 years, Maureen Gallihugh has helped individuals, families, foundations and endowments identify and achieve their financial and investment goals. Drawing on her extensive professional experience in money management, retirement and estate planning, and the creation of qualified plan solutions for businesses, Maureen helps clients build, protect and use wealth in a manner that meets their unique requirements across generations.

Maureen’s client-service philosophy is straightforward: successful, long-term relationships are built on trust. She listens with compassion to her clients as they describe their goals, asks targeted questions that clarify and resolve issues, and helps individuals and families identify their level of comfort with various investment and wealth-management options. She then applies her practical knowledge — and her ability to see the details within the broader picture — to these investment needs. The results? A clear strategic plan, actionable objectives and a lasting, rewarding partnership.

Maureen began her financial-advisory career at Scott & Stringfellow in 1984, where she initially provided executive support. Shortly thereafter, she obtained her broker and other licenses, began handling client accounts and helped lead more expansive marketing initiatives. She joined Davenport & Company in 2001 and currently serves on the firm’s board of directors.

Maureen is a loyal alumna of University of Richmond and is actively involved on several volunteer boards in the community, including St. Bridget Church, the Memorial Foundation for Children Advisory Board, and Society of St. Vincent de Paul. In her free time, Maureen enjoys golf, tennis, and spending time with her family, including her husband, two adult children, and three grandchildren.

Dennis Tarrant
Senior Vice President - Investments
(804) 780-2135
dtarrant@investdavenport.com

Dennis began his career in investment banking with Richmond-based Wheat First Securities in 1985. After 10 years of underwriting, due diligence, private placements and merger & acquisition work, Dennis became a restricted stock trader and share repurchase specialist. As he took on more complex projects and grew with the firm – which became First Union and then Wachovia Corporation – Dennis was recruited by Davenport & Company in 2006 to strengthen its corporate and executive service business, which serves high net worth clients.

Working closely with his sister, Maureen Gallihugh, Dennis applies his almost 40 years of experience to high net worth clients, corporate executives and companies looking for capital market experience in a retail financial advisor. He has learned that providing superior service means more than just paying attention, it means paying attention to the details that matter most to clients, including investment goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. It also means addressing sophisticated financial matters that institutions, individuals, and families may face as retirement, financial planning, and the transfer of wealth become top priorities.

Dennis earned his B.A. in Economics and M.B.A. from the University of Richmond. He is married and has two adult daughters, both working in the financial services industry. Dennis enjoys several sporting activities, especially golf. He regularly volunteers as a Special Olympics sponsor, mentors MBA students at the University of Richmond, and is active with church volunteer initiatives.
