Speakers

  Meg Carpenter

  CEO at FiComm Partners

  For 20 years Meg has enjoyed working alongside advisory firms and wealth management businesses, helping their leadership teams identify meaningful growth opportunities through the lens of marketing, PR, and advisor marketing. Her professional journey from marketing intern to influential entrepreneur, Meg has loved being a part of our industry’s remarkable evolution while leveraging my futuristic strength to imagine what could be. As a mum of 3, Meg is continually inspired by her children and their relentless individuality. Meg and her husband spend their family time dancing, laughing, and enjoying life’s simple moments with the kids. They believe that a family first approach should be celebrated, not shamed, and Meg is committed to living this belief for her family, the amazing women she works with, and women across the industry. That is why FiComm’s core value about being “New Skool by Nature” – which means always showing up with authenticity, vulnerability, and compassion – is so fundamental to who Meg is.
