Her career began in 1993 and accelerated quickly. By the age of 22, JaQ had earned her FINRA Series 7 license, managed a retail bank branch, participated on a municipal underwriting team supporting public infrastructure financing, and joined Northern Trust, where she advised ultra-high-net-worth families and institutional clients. Those early experiences laid the foundation for a career spanning private banking, investment management, wealth advisory leadership, family office engagement, and workforce development.

Throughout her career, JaQ has led and coached hundreds of financial professionals, managed teams responsible for billions of dollars in client assets, and built strategic partnerships across financial institutions, universities, corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies. Today, she is the Founder and CEO of Alexander Legacy Private Wealth and the visionary behind Legacy Lessons a global educational ecosystem designed to prepare the next generation of wealth creators, financial professionals, entrepreneurs, and economic leaders.

Known as the "Queen of Careers, Connections, and Capital," JaQ believes that the future belongs to those who understand not only how money works, but also how relationships, education, and opportunity intersect. Through Legacy Lessons, she is helping democratize access to financial education by combining practical wealth-building strategies with career development, AI readiness, leadership, entrepreneurship, and global economic insights.

Her work now extends well beyond the United States. JaQ serves on the Executive Board of the Africa Economic Forum, where she also serves as Co-Chair of the Africa Women Forum and Chair of the Investors Alliance. In these leadership roles, she works alongside global business, academic, and government leaders to strengthen investment, workforce development, and economic partnerships across Africa and the international community.

JaQ also serves as advisor to the FinServ Foundation and as Visiting Faculty at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), where she is helping develop innovative workforce and financial education initiatives that connect universities, employers, and global financial institutions. Her vision is to build sustainable talent pipelines that prepare students and professionals for careers in wealth management, financial services, cybersecurity, project management, real estate, technology, and emerging industries.

She is the creator of the Legacy Lessons with JaQ educational platform, host of the Legacy Lessons with JaQ podcast, international keynote speaker, and co-author of Legacy Lessons with JaQ & Dr. Chan, a book series focused on generational wealth, economic empowerment, and preparing families for the largest wealth transfer in history. Through speaking engagements, educational experiences, executive workshops, and strategic advisory work, JaQ continues to inspire audiences around the world to think differently about wealth, not simply as financial capital, but as human capital, social capital, intellectual capital, and generational impact.  

Whether speaking to family offices, universities, corporations, government leaders, or emerging professionals, JaQ's mission remains the same: To prepare one million people for the future of wealth, work, and global opportunity by connecting careers, capital, and education across generations and across continents. "Because true legacy isn't measured by what we accumulate, it's measured by what we build, who we empower, and what we leave behind for others." - JaQ

Dr. Anthony Chan

Global Chief Economist | Author | Economic Advisor | Speaker

Dr. Anthony Chan has spent more than four decades helping people understand one of life's most misunderstood subjects: economics. Throughout his distinguished career—as a University Professor, Federal Reserve Economist, Wall Street Global Chief Economist, Global Keynote Speaker, and media commentator—he has remained committed to a simple belief: economic knowledge should not be reserved for experts. It should empower every family, investor, business owner, and citizen.

Known by many as "The People's Economist," Dr. Chan has dedicated his life to translating complex economic events into practical insights that people can use to make better decisions through his popular Substack articles. Whether explaining inflation, interest rates, housing markets, global trade, or financial crises, his goal has never been to impress audiences with technical jargon, but to leave them with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how the world economy affects their everyday lives.

Before joining JPMorgan, Dr. Chan served as an economics professor at the University of Dayton, as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and as a senior economist at Barclays de Zoete Wedd Government Securities. He earned his B.B.A. in Finance and Investments from Baruch College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland. He also served as a doctoral fellow at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C. Today, as Chairman and Chief Economist of Dr. Chan Economics LLC, Dr. Chan continues to travel extensively across the United States and around the world as a keynote speaker, helping audiences understand the forces shaping the global economy.

Dr. Chan retired in 2019 after a distinguished 25-year career at JPMorgan Chase, where he served as Managing Director and Chief Economist for Chase Wealth Management. During that time, he addressed more than 100,000 clients annually and became one of the firm's most sought-after global thought leaders. His presentations have taken him across six continents, where he has advised business leaders, investors, policymakers, and central banks—including the People's Bank of China, the Bank of Korea, and numerous central banks throughout Latin America—on the outlook for the global economy and financial markets.

This book reflects the mission that has defined Dr. Chan's career: to bridge the gap between financial and economic literacy. He believes that understanding your household finances is only half the battle. To make better decisions for your family, your career, and your future, you must also understand the powerful global economic forces that influence them every day. Through this legacy conversation, Dr. Chan invites readers not only to become better investors or consumers but also to be more informed participants in an increasingly interconnected world. His greatest passion has been helping ordinary people understand the extraordinary economic forces that shape their lives.

Part 2 of Dr. Chan's Bio. A member of the prestigious Blue Chip Economic Indicators forecasting panel, he has been a frequent guest on CNBC, CNN International, Fox Business, CGTN, and other major media outlets, with more than 650 live television appearances. His insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Barron's, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and Investor's Business Daily.
