Sallie’s professional moves have been contrarian and correct. Her pivot is brave but will be more difficult.

Ellevest is a women's lifestyle and affinity brand, masquerading as a subscale RIA. The truth is that there's nothing about women or other affinity groups/labels that changes or impacts how their wealth management products/services/advice in any meaningful way, and that isn't already fully provided through other firms and FAs, both men and women. The "by women for women" is a significant limiter in an industry where there isn't an actual value proposition to that demographic beyond marketing blather.

Sallie Krawcheck has had a phenomenal career and track record as a founder. The fact that she has pivoted her business model reflects rationality and research. Those who have continued to bet against her only reinforce why she attracts big female allies and partners. You go, girl!
