About the moderator

Eleanor Coleman is passionate about delivering the message of Financial Empowerment, her regular seminars and workshops aim to help women achieve financial freedom through planning and education. Most people say they are “too busy” to deal with their investments and in Hong Kong it is easy to do this again and again. As a busy mother of two little boys, she understands this and wants to make the process of planning for the future as simple and understandable as possible.
 
After moving to Hong Kong at 24, Eleanor worked with various international banks and financial companies. She uses this experience and her network of professionals to help people to define and achieve their dreams. Eleanor helps her clients to make proactive decisions to plan their financial freedom by being realistic, setting goals, and seeing how their financial personality might hold them back from financial independence.
 
Eleanor has lived in Hong Kong for 18 years and has been here for the good times and the bad and knows how to make the most of being an expat. Planning for a secure future, be it for yourself, your family, or your business, is one of the most important steps you will ever take, Eleanor aims to make that a positive experience with a clear and defined plan.
