Entrepreneur in Residence
The Aspen Institute
San Francisco, California, United States

Heather McCulloch is Entrepreneur in Residence and founder of the Women in the Economy (WE) a two-year research and action project based at the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program (Aspen FSP). WE is designed to re-imagine a gender-equitable economy - one that supports working women families to thrive - based on the wisdom, voices, and lived experience of women across America.

Heather has more than two decades of experience working as an advocate and thought leader to close the racial and gender wealth gaps and build an equitable economy. She is the founder and principal of Asset Building Strategies, a consulting firm that supports nonprofit, philanthropic, public, and private-sector leaders to advance policies and strategies to build the financial security of low-wealth families. Previously, she founded and led Closing the Women’s Wealth Gap, a multiracial cross-sector network of leaders working together to transform public policies and systems to advance gender economic equity.

Her insights have been covered in major news publications including CNN Business, Fast Company, The Hill, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, NPR Marketplace, Slate, and USA Today. She earned an MSc in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics and a BA in Political Economy from the University of California, Berkeley.
