By Ellevest Team

The financial advisors on Ellevest’s Private Wealth Management team are located all around the country, and they each pursue their own passions and interests. But they all have two important things in common: deep experience and a deep motivation to transform the financial services industry. 

They know that when it comes to women, families, and money, we can do more. We can make financial services — an industry designed by men, for men — a better experience for each client we work with. Tbh, it’s what you deserve: financial advisors who actively listen, create space for real conversation, understand your financial goals, and invest for impact (and returns) according to your values.

Meet the financial advisors on Ellevest’s all-women wealth management team below, and get a feel for how they might help your wealth work smarter with financial guidance tips and takeaways.
