Meet Wende Headley
Wende Headley is Chief Executive Officer, Partner, and Advisor at Quantum Financial Advisors located in Manhattan Beach, CA.
I am passionate about helping clients simplify their finances and get their entire financial house in order. I strongly believe that everyone deserves a financial plan and the ability to know how their personal wealth translates into creating the life of their dreams. I came into this profession after helping many friends and family members face the challenges and opportunities that come with money. Bringing them peace of mind was very rewarding, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to instill that same confidence and clarity in my clients today.
Experience & Qualifications
Prior to co-founding Quantum, I was a Partner at Abacus Wealth Partners. In addition to my primary role as my clients’ Financial Advisor, I also led the Mergers & Acquisitions and Women & Money initiatives. Before Abacus, I was head of product development for a financial services start-up that grew into a multi-billion dollar public company. Previously, I was a management consultant for The Boston Consulting Group, where I advised senior executives of Fortune 500 companies. I began my career as a Corporate Auditor for The General Electric Company.
Education
I earned an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BA in Economics and French from the University of Michigan. I hold a Certificate in Financial Planning from UCLA, and am a Certified Financial Planner™, and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst.
