Krawcheck's Women-First Finance
Share
A story about how Lisa Stone's expectations were subverted when meeting Sallie Krawcheck, founder of Ellevest.
"When I sat down for breakfast with Sallie Krawcheck the first time, I expected to meet one of the 1% of the 1%. She ran 2 of the 5 largest investment banks on Wall Street. I did not expect a scholarship student from Charleston, South Carolina who's absolutely passionate about saving the financial futures of women to show up at that breakfast.
And I think that's one of the reasons that at Ellevest, 50% of our engineering and product teams are women and 40% of my colleagues are people of color. It can be done."
