One of the most powerful ways that Valerie Galinskaya helps families navigate the complexities of wealth is through education. In her role leading the Merrill Center for Family Wealth and working with over 370 families and their Merrill advisors, she has shown that understanding — and applying—key skills is critical to optimizing how families navigate financial capital and its impact across generations. Through key initiatives like the Women & Wealth Symposium and the Financial Boot Camps and myriad other learning resources, including whitepapers like “Prosperity in Partnerships,” Galinskaya has empowered hundreds of clients to define their goals and build their skillset to make a difference not only in their families but in their broader communities as well.
