Financial Education with a Family Focus: Elaine King
Elaine King was born in Peru at a time when the country was going through its longest economically and politically volatile period, with record-high inflation rates, terrorism, and national curfews. She has lived, studied, and worked around the world – in Canada, Mexico, Austria, Japan, and the United States – an experience that taught her to love culture and appreciate diversity. She also speaks six languages.
King built her expertise over 18 years by climbing the corporate ladders of the largest and most powerful financial institutions in the world, advising international families with actionable strategies for a healthy financial plan, structure, and governance. Thus she built her foundation and formed a passion for spreading economic empowerment, qualities she brings to her contributions to the Florida Financial Educators Council Advisory Board.
