A tireless advocate for women's rights, Marigny deMAURIAC sees economic mobility as one of the most powerful catalysts for positive change and the defining civil rights issue of our time.
Marigny deMAURIAC is the founder of deMAURIAC, a 100% women-owned, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNING™ and Registered Investment Advisory firm. In the finance industry, independent, women-owned firms are so rare that we couldn't find an official count. We suspect they likely number in the low hundreds worldwide. Combining more than a decade of financial expertise with a background in behavioral science, Marigny helps women navigate difficult life transitions, everything from career shifts, to divorce, caregiving, widowhood, and making the adjustment from saving for retirement to income planning in retirement. Beyond advising clients, Marigny is a relentless champion of women-led businesses and a believer in the power of capital to create meaningful change. She brings a sharp eye for high-growth, mission-aligned companies and is dedicated to expanding access to opportunity and investment capital for underestimated and historically overlooked founders. Her work is driven by a simple belief: when more women control wealth (and we will), entire communities prosper.
