Jamie Disterhaupt

Relationship Manager

I believe trust is earned through every interaction, and lasting relationships are built through consistent communication, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to doing what’s best for each client.

Meet Jamie

Jamie is a Relationship Manager based in Leawood, Kansas. She joined Mercer Advisors in 2026, after previously serving as a Client Service Associate at Infinitas. Jamie spent time as a Customer Service Specialist at Mitchell Capital Management. She enjoys building relationships with clients, understanding what matters most to them, and finding solutions tailored to their needs. Her interest in financial services was inspired by her father, a wealth advisor for more than 25 years, whose work showed her the value of long-term client relationships. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Missouri State University.

Her working style

Jamie is known for her proactive and thoughtful approach to problem-solving and her dedication to follow-through. She takes initiative, approaches challenges with a client-focused mindset, and enjoys breaking complex issues into manageable steps. As a lifelong learner, she continually seeks new knowledge and tools that can help improve outcomes and enhance the client experience.

Jamie in real life

Favorite thing about where you live?

Having grown up in St. Louis, having attended college in southwest Missouri, and now living in Overland Park, Kansas, I’ve spent most of my life in the Midwest. What I love most about the region is its four distinct seasons and the people. From summers at the lake to snowy winter mornings, I enjoy experiencing everything each season has to offer. I also appreciate the genuine, down-to-earth nature of Midwestern communities. With much of my family rooted here, the Midwest has always felt like home and reflects the values and sense of community that are important to me.

How do you give back?

I believe giving back starts with how we show up for the people around us every day. Whether it’s being a cheerleader for friends, family, or colleagues or finding small ways to make someone’s life a little easier, I try to make a positive impact whenever I can. I also believe in consistent generosity, whether through charitable giving, thoughtful gifts to loved ones, or simply going the extra mile for someone who needs support. No matter the place or circumstance, there’s always an opportunity to lend a helping hand and contribute to the greater good.

Any words you try to live by?

I believe in continually working to become a better version of myself. Growth starts with being honest about your strengths and shortcomings, then putting in the effort to improve, whether that’s building new skills, strengthening relationships, or developing greater emotional intelligence. I try to identify qualities I admire in my friends, family, and colleagues, learn from their examples, and challenge myself to keep growing. I’ve found that surrounding myself with good people who inspire me to be better is one of the most powerful drivers of personal and professional growth.
