About

I firmly believe that meaningful change begins with action. Each of us holds the power and responsibility to make an impact in our world - however we define it.At the crossroads of entrepreneurship and investments I bring a long-standing experience as a co-founder, founder and CEO. With over three decades of experience managing clients' assets and a solid foundation in finance, I transitioned into venture capital to align financial resources with transformative innovation. I work with client as a strategic advisor to strenght their governance, I stand with them as a sparring partner to provide a safe space where they can explore new ideas and navigate complexity therefore enabling them to make better decisions. I share authentic and real life stories on stage as a keynote speaker on topics such as leadership, motivation, investment and venture capital among others. As a proud mother of two daughters, I drive inspiration from them in all aspects of my life always guided by my mother who is my role model. Traveling, exploring new cultures and places, connecting with people and nature are my preferred activities. In my free time I love golfing, skiing, hiking, and reading.Learn more about me https://www.jacquelineruedinrusch.com/Sign up to A&J Powerful Pills: https://substack.com/@ajpowerfulpills
