Irina Stancu
Investor since 2017 · CFA® · Financial Coach
Hi, I'm Irina Stancu — investor since 2017, financial coach, and financial educator. I help people, especially women, build financial independence through a healthy mindset and smart investing.
I firmly believe that financial independence is no longer a luxury, but an absolutely necessary gift in this era of accelerating change and the AI revolution — for you and for the generations to come.
15+ years in the corporate world
I have over 15 years of experience in the corporate world, at top companies in banking, investment banking, and fintech. This experience allows me today to bring together the analytical rigor of the corporate world and a human, empathetic approach to our relationship with money — to create real, lasting transformation in my clients' lives.
I held key roles coordinating international projects — and I saw how even finance experts made mistakes with their personal money. That's when I realized that information without a mindset transformation is not enough.

Why financial independence
I grew up in an environment where money was a taboo subject. Nobody talked about it, but the tension was always there. After I entered banking, I saw something that shocked me: intelligent, educated, successful women — who felt completely lost when it came to their own money.
Not because they weren't capable, but because nobody taught them and nobody listened to them without judgment. That was the spark: to create the safe space where women can talk about money, learn, and transform.
My methodology combines mindset work (through the Trauma of Money certification), practical personal finance, and investment strategy — all adapted to women's needs.
