The evolving movement of the RR Fund was founded by Dr. Angela D. Reddix.
As a firm believer that we must always attempt to ‘lift as we climb’, Dr. Angela D. Reddix, Ebony Magazine’s Power 100 list honoree, had a dream to bring women-of-color and allies together to learn the fundamentals of wealth and to translate the conversation into action. The RR Fund was born as a lab where we discover, challenge, and grow our perspective of the “almighty dollar” in the form of investment opportunities, events, and educational programs.

Ginny Neal has spent two decades in the financial industry both as an attorney and a financial advisor. She began her career at the multinational law firm of Greenberg Traurig where she practiced in the fields of corporate and securities law and private mergers and acquisitions. Through her extensive work with senior business executives and their financial and investment banking advisors, she developed the qualities that she believes are essential to be successful in business – a keen intuition, an ability to weigh risk, and perhaps most importantly, the guts to move forward quickly and decisively when opportunity knocks. Ginny brings those qualities to each of her professional endeavors and to each of the clients she serves. Early in Ginny’s professional career, she became General Counsel of GenSpring Family Offices, an investment firm working with 300 of the wealthiest families in the United States. Ginny was intimately involved in every major corporate initiative from leading acquisitions, managing corporate real estate, serving on the senior leadership and risk committees, to forming, launching and managing GenSpring’s first registered investment company. During her time as General Counsel, GenSpring more than doubled in size to $20 billion in assets under management.

In truly listening to her clients over the years, Ginny has learned that financial wealth brings little fulfillment without personal wellness and contribution. She believes that the old models are dated, archaic, and are simply not sustainable in a world experiencing profound change – economically, socially and environmentally. Ginny’s approach is necessarily innovative and bold, and after searching for it, to no avail, she created SpringTru – a community of like-minded people who realize that the true power of personal wealth includes not only embracing, but influencing social and global change through investment in people and ideas that matter.
