Wendy Blair

Wendy M. Blair is a Financial Advisor on the Freeport, Illinois advisory team of Savant Wealth Management, the fee-only registered investment advisor that until a 2020 rebrand operated as Savant Capital Management. She holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designation and is a Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®), and she has been involved in the investment and trust business since 1983.

Before joining Savant, Blair spent 17 years with a large bank as a vice president and relationship manager, where she was responsible for managing the Private Client Group at its Freeport location. This background in private-client banking and trust services underpins her current work advising individuals and families on comprehensive financial planning and investment management.

She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business from Northern Illinois University and has completed extensive professional training at The American College, the ABA National Trust School, and the National Graduate Trust School. She is also a member of the Highland Leadership Institute Alumni. Blair became an employee-owner of the firm during one of Savant's ownership expansions, when additional staff purchased ownership interests in what was then Savant Capital Management.

• Blair's professional focus is personal wealth management and financial planning, not startup or seed-stage venture investing. There is no public evidence of an angel-investing thesis, target startup profile, or a defined check size.
• Her work centers on comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and trust services for private clients — consistent with Savant's fee-only, fiduciary, evidence-based investing philosophy.
• Client engagement typically spans retirement, estate/trust, and investment planning rather than direct equity stakes in private companies.
