Carrie Nelson is a corporate executive-turned-entrepreneur who is passionate about helping Financial Advisors and investors have better, more empathetic financial conversations. Carrie brings over 20 years of experience to Atlas Point, including significant practical knowledge in consulting, business development and entrepreneurship. She gained much of her expertise in her roles as a data strategy leader at Experian, a Principal at EY and the head of Firm Strategy at Edward Jones.

Through her wealth management consulting experience, Carrie identified an opportunity to connect character science and behavioral finance in a way that allows investors to express how they think and feel about money. This powerful combination leads to more personal and personalized financial conversations and has become a core principle of Atlas Point’s products and strategy.

Carrie was a student-athlete at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and earned her degree in business administration through UNC’s Kenan-Flagler School of Business. She currently serves as the Finance Committee Chair for the Concordance Academy of Leadership’s Board of Directors.

Carrie lives in Charlotte with her husband and daughter and enjoys boating, hiking, and exploring new places with her family.

“My Financial Virtues profile highlighted for me a moment when my familiarity bias and anchoring bias was holding me back from letting go of a financial investment that was no longer serving me. The awareness allowed me to make a more rational financial decision and achieve a greater return.”
