She advises boards and investors on strategy, leveraging her expertise in digital transformation, CPA, SHRM-CP, GenAI, and board certification (NACD.DC). Currently, she is Audit Committee Chair for CureSearch, Operating Advisor to How Women Invest, and Managing Director at Danforth Advisors, leading growth in the SF/West Coast market and serving as interim CFO for late-stage companies, advising on IPOs and capital markets transactions. Her prior leadership roles include finance and strategy at global institutions and venture-backed companies across banking, techbio, and health tech.



Some of the talking points Julie and Julianne go over in this episode include:

  • Julianne’s definition of success in investing and investment journey.

  • Automating your investments for your busy life.

  • Starting small and other advice for beginner investors.

I’ve been searching for something like Ragdoll Archers unblocked to play during breaks, and it’s honestly perfect for short sessions. Fast loading and instant gameplay make it really convenient.
