Terri Kallsen, a distinguished leader and entrepreneur, takes a look back at her remarkable journey of moving from executive leadership in publicly traded companies to her current role as an entrepreneur. She discusses how having mentors and a solid team have been critical to her success, especially during her transition from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship. 


As the Senior Operating partner at Rise Growth, a synergistic financial partner, she now leads with a mission to help advisors and their teams perform at their best.
