Christine Harvey, Co-Founder

By Liz Uible

When two people put their minds together, a new universe of possibilities is formed. When I met Christine at an investor’s tour in the Midwest in 2005, she immediately impressed me with her extensive background as an entrepreneur, leader and trainer- literally around the world.  She is a published author on business success, as a television and radio host, and communication consultant to the US military.  She had six international best selling books behind her, and articles publishes in the Los Angeles Times and had even commanded the second highest advance in the history of her London publishing house.

She is not one to brag, so it took me a while to learn that her best selling books had led her to TV interviews in Hong Kong, London, Australia and elsewhere. Her contributions to the military, with travels to Bosnia and Europe became known to the White House, and she was invited to interview for the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs (!), an honor she considered and declined.

Christine is a natural-born leader.  Leadership positions draw her like a magnet. While in London, she was elected as the first woman and first American to Chair a London Chamber of Commerce and Industry.  I’ve heard it said of Christine, “Drop her in a new country and she will know everyone within 3 days.” And I have certainly found this to be true!  Her teaching of this skill alone has been invaluable to me and our WomenForWealth.com Members as we all grow in our prosperity and leadership skills.

In 2006, Christine and I decided that enough lip service had been paid to financial empowerment for women – and that action was needed. The world had Suze Orman for stock savvy and Oprah for personal growth, but who helped already successful women reach whole new levels personally and professionally as part of a Community?  And so it was that WomenForWealth.com was born – bringing more role models into the open for us all to emulate, to ask questions of, and to have as models of real prosperity.

Now Christine and I are partners in several businesses including a national real estate investment company specializing in commercial real estate.   We have also started the WomenforWealth.com Foundation for Micro-Lending to give training and loans to the rural poor in Rwanda and across East Africa and we remain on the Board of that organization.

Christine has a real gift.  She has managed to meet and become close with the Who’s Who in any new city I have traveled with her.  She even gets us in the evening news sometimes!  Christine is an adventurous, classy and inspiring woman and we have a blast together working with other success-minded women. 

Christine lives with her Husband, Tom in a gorgeous Hacienda in Tucson.
