3 Keys to Building Financial Wealth as a Professional Woman in Tech

About this session

Let’s face these facts about women:

  • We often earn less than men
  • We’re often caregivers in our families
  • We generally live longer

Have you thought about the implications on women’s financial wellness that these truths have on the decisions we make?

Join us for an impactful one-hour event Led by Lisa Kostova, Founder of CareerClimb Co, and Chris Welton, Wealth Management Advisor at Northwestern Mutual.
