What are the implications of women and girls being told they’re not good with money? Sallie Krawcheck, CEO and co-founder at Ellevest, a provider of investing, financial planning, and wealth management services that are optimized for women, breaks down how this mindset impacts women’s financial outlook and health over the course of their lives. Krawcheck also addresses how to overcome the challenges to growing women’s wealth.

“Women don’t need to be empowered,” Krawcheck noted. “We need to understand the power that we’ve got and we need to decide to use that power.”

Krawcheck delivered a keynote on better investment decisions for women at the 2024 Women Leading Travel & Hospitality Summit, hosted by Women in Retail Leadership Circle’s sister brand, Women Leading Travel & Hospitality.
