Encyclopedia
Jacki Zehner was in 1996 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 firm in 2002, she 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. An impassioned philanthropic visionary committed to the social and economic empowerment of women, she serves as Co-Chair of Women Moving Millions, a board member of The Women’s Funding Network, and President of the Jacquelyn and Gregory Zehner Foundation. Zehner is a former board member of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation
, The National Council for Research on Women, The University of British Columbia and The Center for Work Life Policy. In addition she serves as an advisor for many other for profit and non-profit organizations that are working to advance gender equality for women and girls.
In 2009, Zehner sponsored and collaborated with The National Council for Research on Women to create a groundbreaking report, Women in Fund Management: A Road Map for Achieving Critical Mass – and Why it Matters. The Report examined the different investment management styles of women and men, how they approach risk, and what the global economy might look like if a critical mass of women brought their decision-making talents to the table. The Report was officially launched by Zehner and The National Council for Research on Women at Bloomberg L.P.
in the summer of 2009 and was also launched internationally at the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society
