Hi. I'm Claudia Segre.

The unfortunate reality is that many women across the globe continue to struggle when it comes to effectively managing their financial resources to create lasting economic wellbeing.

The good news is that learning about money enables women to make better career decisions, prioritize expenses and lower their financial stress.

As an internationally renowned expert in political and country risk analysis, portfolio management, fixed income and FX, and international relations, I believe the only way to build a brighter, more prosperous future is to invest in the financial education of women and girls.

My goal is to ensure that all women know they’re capable of making complex financial decisions, and should never settle for less: less money, less power, less independence.

Because money, for women, isn’t about the transactions and decisions they make day-to-day. It’s tied to their sense of self-worth, safety and other emotions. It’s their emotional currency.

Ultimately, transforming women’s relationship with money also transforms women’s self-identity, self-esteem and mental well-being.
