Gerry Poirier

Gerry Poirier is the founder and CEO of AngeLink, billed as the world's first social crowdfunding platform powered by women. After more than two decades on Wall Street trading floors at Credit Suisse and Lazard, where she was often the only woman in the room, she built an AI-driven, fraud-resistant fundraising platform that has grown to roughly 55,000 active users across 100 currencies and raised over $7.3 million in seed funding. A Wharton-trained, globe-trotting risk-taker based in Naples, Florida, she also runs the AngeLink Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) making direct impact grants.
