Sallie Krawcheck’s professional mission is to help women reach their financial and professional goals (or, put more bluntly, to get more money into the hands of women), thus enabling them to live better lives and unleashing a positive ripple effect for our families, our communities and our economy. To that end, she is the C.E.O. and Co-Founder of Ellevest, a digital-first, mission-driven investment platform for women. Ellevest is one of the fastest-growing digital investment platforms, named No. 24 on CNBC’s top 50 Disruptor list, No. 14 on LinkedIn’s 50 Most Sought-After Startups (and No. 2 in New York), and one of Entrepreneur magazine’s Top 100 Brilliant Ideas. Krawcheck is also Chair of the Ellevate Network, a 135 thousand-strong global professional women’s network; she is Chair of the Pax Ellevate Global Women’s Leadership Fund, a fund that invests in the top-rated companies for advancing women; and she is the best-selling author of “Own It: The Power of Women at Work.”

Before launching Ellevest, Krawcheck built a successful career on Wall Street. She was the C.E.O. of Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, US Trust, the Citi Private Bank, and Sanford C. Bernstein. She was also C.F.O. for Citigroup. Prior to that, Krawcheck was a top-ranked research analyst covering the securities industry.
