Our Managing Partner
Kristen Andreasen is the Managing Partner of Intrepid Citizen.
She spent two decades inside JPMorgan, Bernstein, and Northern Trust, advising high-net-worth families on the intersection of capital, legacy, and life. That background shapes how she practices today: every residency and citizenship strategy at Intrepid Citizen is engineered alongside the broader financial picture, never bolted onto it.
She founded Intrepid Citizen to solve a specific problem in the industry — most firms sell programs, not solutions. Her clients are founders post-exit, multi-generational families, and global entrepreneurs who need a trusted advisor for decisions that affect their family across generations. The work centers on four outcomes: wealth preservation, family security, lifestyle, and long-term optionality.
Kristen is an Investment Migration Council Member (IMCM) and writes and speaks regularly on global mobility, citizenship policy, and the Plan B landscape for American families.
Why we exist.
The partners of Intrepid Citizen spent two decades inside large private-client firms — the kind that win the engagement at dinner and hand the execution to a team you never meet. That model is profitable. It is rarely satisfying for the client, and it is almost never appropriate for the kind of decision a family makes when they relocate, restructure, or acquire a second citizenship.
We started Intrepid Citizen to do this work the way we believed it should be done: a small number of clients, every year, each one served directly by an experienced advisor.
We are members of the Investment Migration Council, the industry's leading professional body. Our partners and experienced counsel have placed more than 250 families across Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Malta, the Caribbean, the United States, and beyond. The work is quiet. The standard is high. The relationship lasts.
How we run the firm.
The experienced advisor who takes your first call remains your point of contact through every renewal, filing, and citizenship application. There is no transition memo, no associate inheriting your file. This is non-negotiable.
We accept a limited number of new families each year. We turn away engagements that aren't the right fit — for the program, for the firm, or for the family. We expect the same scrutiny in return.
Our clients do not appear on our website. They do not write public testimonials by name. The only place you will hear about our work is from someone who was personally referred to us — quietly.
A second passport is a five-to-ten-year arc. We structure engagements accordingly: low ongoing fees, regular check-ins, and decade-long relationships rather than transactional ones.
The people who do the work.
A private conversation is the best place to start.
Thirty minutes with an experienced advisor. We listen first — to your family, your timeline, and the future you're building. Then we'll tell you, candidly, whether we can help.
You speak directly with an experienced advisor — not an intake associate.
