In this episode, we speak with Jennifer Kenning, the co-founder and CEO of Align Impact, an independent fiduciary and impact specialist that works with clients to help them integrate impact strategies and investments into their broader wealth management strategy. Jenn was previously a Partner and Board Member at Aspiriant, a wealth management firm, before leaving to start Align.
