Adding Value by Bridging the Financial Literacy Gap: Marlon Green
As an Accounting and Finance professional, I have over 20 years of experience working in various industries such as Oil and Gas, Chemical, Consulting, and Insurance. Obtaining an Undergraduate degree in Accounting and an MBA in Finance and Investment Management has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and tools required to educate my clients and assist them to navigate the arena of personal finance. My experience and passion for paying it forward has created a pathway for me to add value to the Texas Financial Educators Council’s Advisory Board.
As a former athlete and now a financial educator, my mission is to provide a comprehensive financial literacy program that will empower current and former athletes to take control of their financial destinies. I founded Prosperous Athletes with the goal of raising awareness about personal finance in my community and becoming an advocate for financial wellness. Throughout my personal and professional journey, I have overcome my own financial pitfalls through continuous learning and awareness. My purpose is to add value to the lives of others by helping bridge the financial literacy gap in our communities. I believe that financial wellness is a cornerstone of personal and societal well-being.
It is an honor and privilege to be on the Texas Financial Educators Council’s Advisory Board. I look forward to sharing information that will empower and equip those in my community and beyond. Financial Education is not just a topic that we discuss, it is a life skill that empowers individuals to design the lives they deserve.
