“Most people are living one paycheck away from crisis and my organization, the Financial Health Network, which I founded 18 years ago, is really about helping corporate America understand the situation that their customers, their employees, their communities find themselves in around financial health, and then helps them build the kinds of strategies and solutions that will help improve the financial health of their stakeholders in a way that’s actually beneficial for their business,” she says.
