Kristen Holt, CEO of GreenPath Financial Wellness, got her first fiscal life lesson from her parents.
When she was 10 years old, they allowed her to start her first job – walking dogs. But the condition was she save half of the money she earned.
“That really stayed with me,” said Holt. And it shows. She is now CEO of a nonprofit financial counseling company.
GreenPath Financial Wellness counsels and offers programs for people to pay down debt. In the position for just 18 months, Holt says it suits her to a tee given her skills as a Certified Public Accountant and her penchant for personal finance.
Holt plans to take her skills and create a seismic change in the company, going from just working with people who are in a debt crisis to helping people improve their long-term financial health. This includes helping people manage payments for credit cards, mortgages, car payments, health care debt, student loans and also doing pre-purchase housing counseling.
