Meet Hollis Colquhoun

The Women's Nest Personal Finance Adviser

Hello, ladies. I'm Hollis and 'm here to bring you financial resources and advice. I worked on Wall Street for twenty years as one of the first female institutional traders and salespeople, then retired to spend more time raising my three daughters. After a divorce, I was hired by a nonprofit credit counseling agency where I spoke to thousands of clients from across the country who were in serious financial trouble. A co-counselor and I realized that a majority of our clients were women who were having financial difficulties after separation, divorce or death of a spouse because they had no financial education and no clue how to manage their money. To try to solve this problem, we wrote Women Empowering Themselves: A Financial Survival Guide - For Women at Risk of Drowning Financially Before, During and After Divorce . In addition to writing I give workshops to businesses, and to community and nonprofit organizations on financial education and survival training.
