ABOUT

Jacki Zehner is a frequent media commentator, consultant, and speaker on women, success in the workplace, wealth and investing, financial current events, and high-impact philanthropy.

In 1996, Jacki became the youngest woman and first female trader to be invited into the partnership of Goldman Sachs. Most of her career at Goldman was in mortgage-backed trading, followed by two years spent in the executive office working in human capital management.

After leaving the Goldman Sachs in 2002, Jacki became a Founding Partner of Circle Financial Group, a private wealth management operation consisting of a small group of women committed to effectively managing their families’ assets and philanthropic activities. She left CFG and formed her own consulting practice after leaving New York for Park City, Utah.

An impassioned philanthropic visionary committed to the social and economic empowerment of women, she serves as President and CEO of Women Moving Millions, is a board member  of  The Sundance Institute and is President of the Jacquelyn & Gregory Zehner Foundation. She is a former board member of The Women’s Funding Network, The Breast Cancer Research for Women, The Center for Talent Innovation, the National Council for Research on Women and The University of British Columbia.  She is also an Advisory Board Member to the Geena Davis Institute for Gender in Media , the Pax Global Women’s Equality Fund, Women Effect Investments, and the 30% Coalition.   Jacki is a member of the New York Women’s Forum, the International Women’s Forum, The Utah Women’s Forum,  The United Ways Women’s Philanthropic Network, and The Red Cross Tiffany Circle.

In 2011 her interest in documentary film making as a tool to advancing social change led to her first Executive Producing role for “Ready To Fly,” a story about Lindsey Van, a champion woman ski jumper, and her quest to have the sport included in the Olympic Games. Other films in her gift/investment portfolio include “MissRepresentation,” “How to Survive a Plague,” “The Invisible War”,  and “The March.”
