Leadership Team

Experienced, deliberate investment managers.

Orange Investment Advisors is composed of more than 20 investment and operational professionals. Each member of our team is guided by the same philosophy:
Deliberate investing. Intentional value.

Ronald P. Mayfield, CFA®

Vice President & Deputy CIO

Background Information

Ron began his career with Orange Investment Advisors as an Assistant Portfolio Manager, but through demonstration of his investment knowledge and skill, he was promoted to a Portfolio Manager within twelve months. In 2017, he received his Chartered Financial Analyst® designation.

Ron’s prior financial experience of working with high net worth individuals and institutional clients made him an ideal candidate for Orange Investment Advisors when he joined the firm in 2014. While Orange Investment Advisors may be smaller than his past experiences, Ron acknowledges it’s the big hearts of a staff that pitches in and supports each other that makes the place unique; all the more reason Ron strives “to be the best he can be, all the time.”

Ron resides in Orange County and has a daughter.
