Mike Beasley, former Chairman and CEO of Strategic Investment Solutions, Inc., passed away on Saturday, December 14, 2024. Mike was a combat veteran, corporate visionary, and an all-around good man who touched many lives across the country.
After graduating from the New Mexico Military Institute, Mike completed a combat tour in Vietnam from 1971-1972, where he earned the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star Medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Valor.
Mike began his corporate career at Merrill Lynch in the Capital Markets Group, eventually managing the Corporate Financial Services Group for the U.S. Southern Region. In 1986, he joined Callan Associates in Atlanta, eventually overseeing regional offices in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Atlanta, by 1991.
In 1994, Mike co-founded Strategic Investment Solutions, Inc., in San Francisco, CA, serving as Chairman and CEO. His vision was to create a pension-consulting business distinguished by ethical commitment and a focus on employees and clients, and Mike's expertise made him a sought-after speaker and advisory board member within the industry.
In 2012, Mike relocated back to the family horse ranch in Tesuque, NM, where he engaged in his passions for fishing and golf. His giant personality, irreverent sense of humor, generosity, optimism, limitless curiosity, and insatiable zest for life will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Mike is survived by his brother, Patrick Beasley (Tesuque, NM); his daughter, Laura Beasley and son-in-law, Pieter Voorhees (New York, NY); and his daughter, Joy Beasley and daughter-in-law, Shayna Iglesias (Baltimore, MD).
