WCW Lady Boss Weekly Feature: Sallie Krawcheck

Happy Woman Crush Wednesday! This weekly lady boss feature will focus on the profiles, stories, and interviews of women entrepreneurs and business leaders. Our goal is to connect and inspire like-minded women across all industries.

This week’s lady boss feature is Sallie Krawcheck, co-founder and COO of Ellevest,a digital financial advisory company for women launched in 2016. Prior to Ellevest, Sallie was fired from two CEO positions in finance but bounced back. She previously served as CEO of Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and Smith Barney, and formerly a Wall Street executive. She is a self-proclaimed "rule breaker" on how women can activate their own power, and the importance of owning your financial future.

Sallie Krawcheck’s professional mission is to help women reach their financial and professional goals. She is now focusing on attracting younger clients who are becoming more risk averse, and women who may not feel comfortable with mostly male advisors. Sallie is one of the few executives to find success in large complex companies and as a startup CEO. She is widely recognized as one of the most influential women in business.
