Meet John, Financial Adviser at Thrive.

John Patrick Bautista, Financial Adviser

Hi, I’m John!

My name is John Patrick Bautista, and I’m a Financial Adviser at Thrive Financial Services. I specialize in life, health, and disability insurance—making sure my clients are fully protected with the right cover in place for their needs. I take the time to understand each person’s unique situation so I can recommend the best solutions for them and their families.

I’ve worked in customer service for over 13 years, which has taught me the value of building strong relationships and always putting people first. I hold the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5), with specialist strands in life, health, and disability insurance. This helps me stay current and give advice my clients can trust.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball and I’m a passionate trading card collector. I’m happily married for 12 years and a proud father of two beautiful daughters. My family is my biggest inspiration and the reason I care so deeply about helping others protect what matters most.
