In a packed session at ChiefX NYC, Sallie shared how she’s unapologetically embraced bold, fearless decisions to change the game for women’s financial futures.
Boys are taught to take risks and “go big” while girls are taught to play it safe and stick to the rulebook. The finance industry is no different.

We want to create something that is supporting women and honoring their differences.” – Ellevest Financial Advisor Ashley Bleckner, MA, CFP®, CDFA® at the Future Proof Festival.
