2017 Year Review: Empowered Women At the start of 2018, “Advisors Magazine” takes a look back at the top-level female executives we featured in 2017. These women are successful, accomplished, and have encouraged and inspired others by trailblazing paths that light the way for the future. One of our most notable pioneers is Lori Greiner, who is now regarded as one of the most prolific inventors of retail products, having created more than 600 products, and holding 120 patents. She is one of the star “Sharks” on the Emmy winning show, “Shark Tank.” We find inspiration from the financial industry from straight-talking personal finance expert, Suze Orman, a leader who delivers the message that the financial services industry ought to better acknowledge the financial power of women. As 2017 came to a close, Maria Bartiromo of Fox Business News delivered back-to-back interviews with President Trump and Vice President Pence reaffirming her position as a leading financial news journalist.
