Shelly Lombard is a powerhouse in the financial world — she’s the founder of Schmooze, a Fortune 500 board director, and a trailblazer in leveraging relationships. 

In this episode, Shelly takes us through her remarkable journey from growing up in New Orleans with three younger siblings to becoming a successful Wall Street professional. We explore her early career challenges, the strategic risks she took leaving the corporate world to try out entrepreneurship, and how she carved out a space for herself as a board member of several Fortune 500 companies.

Shelly shares how she realized that relationships are one of the most important tools for building wealth and achieving career milestones. You’ll learn how she adeptly navigated the volatile world of Wall Street, the innovative ways she started investing after leaving corporate finance, and the founding of Schmooze to help other women build powerful networks and learn skills to move up the corporate and business ladder.

You’ll be inspired to take control of your financial future, leverage relationships, and perhaps even start your own journey toward building a portfolio career.
