Kirstin M. Fulkerson

Wealth Strategist / Vice President at Northern Trust

Kirstin M. Fulkerson always dreamed of living in a place where she could see palm trees outside her window. After being born and raised in the Midwest, she made her dream a reality in 2002 when she moved to Florida to live by the beach. 

As a Wealth Strategist for Northern Trust in Sarasota, Fulkerson is passionate about helping her clients reach their goals. Alongside a dedicated team, Fulkerson seeks to understand not just what her clients want to achieve, but why. This goals-driven approach helps build a personalized plan that will truly honor her client’s intentions and avoid unintended consequences.

Before joining Northern Trust, Fulkerson spent 21 years in Sarasota’s local philanthropic sector working closely with families, their advisors and nonprofits. This experience gave Fulkerson unique insight into how to help her clients effectively incorporate their philanthropy into their long-term plans. 

“Helping clients give effectively is a passion of mine. I joined Northern Trust because of the team, our clients, and most importantly the values that drive our work every day,” says Fulkerson. “We’re in the business of building authentic relationships based on trust. Joining a company that has been advising wealthy families for more than 135 years means we can share the experiences and strategies that have proven most effective in achieving philanthropic goals.”

When she’s not helping clients, Fulkerson can be found on the sidelines of various youth sporting events cheering on her kids, cooking mass amounts of food to entertain family and friends, traveling to new places, and enjoying that Florida sunshine that brought her here in the first place.
