MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO

Roland Vandenberg

Roland is a retired U.S. Marine Corps Infantry leader turned entrepreneur who is redefining how military families and everyday Americans approach wealth-building and financial independence. Over a decorated 15-year career, Roland deployed to Haiti for humanitarian relief during Operation Unified Response and served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan under Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He completed his service as a Station Commander with Marine Corps Recruiting Station Los Angeles, where he built and led elite, mission-driven teams.

After transitioning from active duty, Roland entered the real estate industry and recognized a systemic gap: veterans were underserved and often misinformed when navigating one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. To solve that problem, he co-founded Romeo Echo, a real estate company dedicated to delivering world-class service to those who have served — earning recognition as Veteran Business of the Year by the County of Los Angeles.

As Roland advised more families, a larger truth became clear — the financial challenges holding people back were not limited to homeownership. Americans across the board were overwhelmed, under-educated, and unprotected when it came to their money. In response, Roland expanded Romeo Echo into financial services, empowering both veterans and civilians to build wealth with confidence through education-first financial consulting, strategic insurance planning, and innovative tax-advantaged solutions.

Roland is also an advocate for mental health and impact-driven innovation. In 2018, he founded Operation Jump 22, a nonprofit combating veteran suicide by building community, purpose, and resilience. His latest initiative — the Millionaire Child Campaign — focuses on generational wealth: helping parents put simple, smart strategies in place so their children can thrive in any economy.

Roland holds an MBA from the University of Southern California and now resides in New Braunfels, Texas with his wife, Michelle, and their two children. His mission remains the same: serve others, strengthen families, and equip the next generation to build stronger financial legacies than the ones they inherited.
