Cate Luzio, Founder & CEO of Luminary: Creating A Luminary Community To Help You Invest In Your Future
Why is it important for women to have safe spaces to learn, connect, and talk about taboo topics normally not discussed in your typical social settings (aka how much money you make) when it applies to your professional life?
Why as women, is it so hard for us to find communities where we feel comfortable sharing our challenges and struggles around work/life issues and not feel shamed for our choices or decisions?
In my conversation with Cate Luzio, we addressed all of the above and MORE juicy topics around harnessing the confidence to show up more authentically in all aspects of life and how investing in yourself is the BEST money spent, yet the hardest to buy into.
Cate Luzio spent two decades in financial services leading global multibillion-dollar businesses and many of the institutions’ women’s networks. During this time, she recognized a lack of investment and development of talent in the female pipeline. In a sharp career pivot, she set out on a new mission to help women see a path toward advancement by arming them with the tools, resources, and community to propel them to the top.
In 2018, she launched and self-funded Luminary, a membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors. Luminary is the ultimate career advocate, uplifting and upskilling women through their professional journey by providing a vast ecosystem of expert-led thought leadership programs, as well as in-person and virtual workshops and events.
Cate was recognized as one of Forbes’ Next 1000 Entrepreneurs in 2021, and named to Inc.’s Top 100 Female Founders in 2019. She has been featured as an expert in top-tier financial, business and lifestyle media including Bloomberg, CNBC, Fast Company, Yahoo Finance, CNN, WSJ, Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, InStyle, TheStreet, Thrive Global, Robb Report, and Fortune. She is currently a contributing writer to Fast Company, Business Insider, and Worth.
