Send us a text
It’s a joy to welcome our guest, Faisa Stafford, LUTCF, SHRM-SCP to In The Suite . She’s a leader, a Mom, and a CEO who is passionate about streamlining processes to better serve the industry and Life Happens’ members. Prior to her role as Life Happens CEO and President, she served as the COO and CFO for more than 10 years.
As the company’s first female CEO, Faisa has seen Life Happens grow from every angle. She’s worked at Life Happens since 2003 back when it was called The LIFE Foundation, a small non-profit fledgling working its way to fly out of the nest with the other birds of prey. Well, they flew the coop big-time! Now Life Happens has Brooke Shields as a spokesperson.
Faisa Stafford is Chief Executive Officer of Life Happens, a nonprofit organization that helps consumers take personal financial responsibility with life insurance. Faisa balances leadership, direction, and coordination of the Life Happens non-profit while serving the Life Happens board and its stakeholders.
Faisa dives into what’s it’s like being a woman of color in a male-dominated FinServ industry. “At some point, my work was bigger than what I look like,” she says. If you want to understand more about being a woman in finance and about why this is the best time ever to get life insurance, listen to this episode!
