Dr. Kortney Ziegler
Founder & CEO, WellMoney

In Dr. Ziegler’s own words… the “why” behind WellMoney.

My journey into entrepreneurship was driven by a desire to create impactful change, stemming from personal experiences that highlighted systemic barriers. Through my academic journey, culminating in a PhD, I developed a passion for developing real-world solutions, leveraging technology for social and financial prosperity.

I envision a global community that's united not just by the need for financial support, but by the shared belief in mutual aid and empowerment. A world where the concept of community-driven financial support becomes a norm, not an exception. I aim to inspire a broader movement towards financial inclusivity and empowerment, challenging traditional models for a more compassionate and effective financial ecosystem.
