Liliya Rose Strong is a distinguished investment coach, seasoned investor, and the Founder & CEO of R2 Holdings LLC. With over a decade of experience in the hedge fund industry, including a memorable private dinner with Warren Buffet, Liliya is dedicated to breaking barriers in the financial world and empowering women to achieve financial independence.

Arriving in America with just $600 and limited English proficiency in 2008, Liliya is intimately familiar with the typical challenges faced by new investors, such as lack of capital, fear of math, and overcoming a limiting money mindset. As the first woman in her family to invest, she has firsthand experience of these obstacles and is passionate about helping others navigate them.

Liliya is inspired by Serena Williams' words: "Every woman's success should be an inspiration to another. We're strongest when we cheer each other on." This belief fuels her passion for sharing knowledge, which led Liliya to write her debut book, "Stocks for Women." In this straightforward, stress-free guide, Liliya aims to demystify investing and inspire women from all backgrounds to confidently enter the stock market and reap its benefits.

Liliya welcomes connections and discussions through her Instagram blog @stocksforwomen, where she shares insights and resources for aspiring investors.
