Cary Carbonaro is one of 15 advisors who was appointed to the Nasdaq Advisor Council

She is the only female on the council.  She will provide feedback to the NASDAQ business on a variety of items such as product development, research agenda and certainly special projects (currently website development).  NASDAQ is interested on how they can help end consumers in the financial advisory space and she is looking forward to working alongside them  to develop products and investments to benefit her clients. 

We had the fortune of having Cary speak on “Women, the Workplace and Money” for Withum’s large women’s team member resource group in mid-2024. She tailored a custom presentation that was well-aligned with our team’s goals and even available company benefits. Cary was great to work with and delivered a fantastic presentation. We also got excellent feedback from attendees. Thank you, Cary!

It was our great privilege and honor to have Cary speak at our Events ‘DIAMOND Nights’ to develop strong, female leaders on both the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. Cary’s ability to connect with and inspire the women, while giving them practical empowering tips on managing their finances was amazing, with ladies from both events giving her rave reviews. It is my great pleasure to recommend Cary (the Money Queen) to any organization looking for an engaging, inspiring, and empowering speaker.

On October 9, 2015 at our 10th Annual Purses with a Purpose event, we had the good fortune to share the day with my favorite Keynote Speakers to date, Cary Carbonaro aka “The Money Queen”. Cary’s story of struggle and triumph inspired us all. I cannot think of a finer example of what a woman can accomplish regardless of the odds than Ms. Carbonaro’s life story. Her ability to convey her story of courage and commitment while keeping it entertaining and enjoyable caused all 300 of us in the ballroom to fall in love with her and what she has accomplished. What a women and what a story!! If you are looking for a speaker I highly recommend Ms. Carbonaro!
