Ron Ojeda is the manager of the Consumer Financial Protection program of the HRCP Aging Division. He was charged with the development of this new initiative in 2017 to provide a hub for resident complaints on Denver-centric issues like wage theft, fair lending and fair housing, elder financial abuse, notario fraud, evictions and foreclosures. He is also responsible for policy and program development that provides protections of residents who fall victim to predatory practices of a financial nature.
Ron comes to the City of Denver after 30 years in the financial services industry where he served in the roles of Senior Vice President, Regional Manager and Vice President of Trust and Investment Management bank divisions. During his career as a series 7, 65 and 24 licensed investment and financial service professional, he developed new clients raising assets of more than $250 million, as well as created alternative investments and a wealth management division within a trust and investment management division of a bank holding company. His transition to his current role was derived from his passionate work with victims of Elder Financial Abuse in financial services.
Ron has successfully created a coalition of government agencies and nonprofit organizations including the Colorado Attorney General’s office, Denver District Attorney, Department of Regulatory Agencies, Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Denver Police Department, Denver Auditor’s Office, Toward’s Justice, unions and other advocacy organizations to coordinate resources and best practices to assist victims of consumer financial fraud especially in our at-risk populations.
