Bio: Nola Rae
Nola Rae, author of Money Wit, started her career in marketing, but was exposed to finances through her job in a company that sold customised financial software to corporate clients.
Fascinated by the logic and power of financial information, Rae decided to shift the focus of her career to finance. She spent 15 years following a corporate career path, with roles ranging from accountant to financial director of one of the country’s largest PR firms. “My years with these companies gave me experience in managing all aspects of a business, from setting up a company, to crafting business strategies, to taking responsibility for the full spectrum of financial management,” she says.
Rae’s inspiration for writing Money Wit stemmed from 26 years of acquired industry experience and took her just one month to pen the book. She found her motivation after research into the corporate wellness sector revealed to her the enormous need for debt counselling.
Rae realised that the best way to address the need for this service is by equipping people – especially the youth – with a better understanding of money and how to manage it proactively, rather than reactively.
Rae is currently writing the follow-up to Money Wit, which focuses on guiding entrepreneurs on the fundamental money management facets of their businesses, which they so often hand over to financial experts to manage on their behalf.
