“I managed institutional portfolios for 20+ years and was too scared to open my own credit card statement. Now I teach women 40+ to fix that.”
I spent 20+ years inside one of Europe's largest banks, where I have managed portfolios in the billions. For most of that time I could not bring myself to open my own credit card statement.
That gap is why Cello Wealth exists.
I teach professional women over 40 - senior, well paid, often managing budgets at work that dwarf the one they run at home - to build wealth in their own name. Not budgeting tips. The architecture: everything you own and owe on one page, what your pension actually leaves you, the number you are genuinely building toward, and a portfolio that does not depend on you feeling brave every month.
I came to the Netherlands at 20 from a village in communist Poland, with no degree, no language and no money. I built my first portfolio after my divorce, applying the frameworks I used professionally to my own life. I am a single mother of two teenagers with special needs. The system is what kept me steady when everything else moved.
What I bring to a conversation is the institutional view in plain language - where the financial system quietly fails women, what the people building the products actually assume about them, and what to do about it. Money is emotional before it becomes mathematical, and I will always start there.
Warm and direct. No hype, and no "you go girl". I teach and coach; I do not give regulated investment advice.
