Meet Special Guest Sallie Krawcheck

Our families, workplaces, communities, and economy are stronger when we invest in women.
That’s why The Women’s Foundation of Colorado is thrilled to announce Sallie Krawcheck as our 2023 Annual Luncheon Special Guest. As the CEO and co-founder of Ellevest, a wealthtech company built by women, for women, Sallie Krawcheck’s professional mission is to get more money into the hands of women and close the gender wealth gap. She has famously said, “Nothing bad happens when women have more money.”
A Wall Street trailblazer and widely recognized as one of the most influential women in business, Sallie was CEO of Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney, and US Trust. She was also CFO for Citigroup.
Fortune named her “The Last Honest Analyst” and Barron’s deemed her among the “Most Influential People in ESG Investing.”
She passionately speaks about the power of diversity, the myths of meritocracy, and the gender investing gap.
