Cherniawski
National Vice President & Co-Founder
Global Financial Impact · GFI
Building the next generation of financial leaders. Protecting families. Creating freedom through ownership.
Obsessed with
your success.
Michael Cherniawski is a Co-Founder and National Vice President at Global Financial Impact — one of the fastest-growing financial services organizations in the country. A Michigan native now based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Michael built his career over a decade as an Investment Advisor and Representative at Transamerica before co-founding GFI to create something better.
Before financial services, Michael honed his business development instincts at Gartner, where he worked directly with C-suite executives. That ability to speak to leadership — to understand what drives real decisions — is exactly what he brings to GFI every day.
Michael’s mission is dual: deliver exceptional financial products to families who need them, and build a platform where ambitious people can own their future. He lives that mission at home with his wife and kids, and in every conversation he has with the agents and clients he serves.

Leadership That Leads
GFI was built by producers who actually did the work. Michael and the leadership team aren’t just executives — they’re in the field, on the calls, and in the room when it counts.
Global Reach
What starts as one conversation ripples across borders. GFI’s expansion is active and accelerating — agents plugging in today are building the foundation of a worldwide network.
True Ownership
The difference between a job and a business is ownership. GFI’s model gives agents not just commissions, but equity-level momentum in the organization they help build.
Accountability & Integrity
Trust is the product. GFI holds itself to an uncommon standard because the families and agents they serve deserve nothing less than full transparency and real results.
Entrepreneurial DNA
GFI attracts builders, not employees. If you see opportunity where others see obstacles and you’re willing to do the work — you will find your people here.
Life on Your Terms
Remote. Flexible. Scalable. The platform is designed so that your business grows whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale, Michigan, or anywhere in the world.
