Sonya Dreizler

Hi, I’m Sonya. I’m the co-founder of Choir, a diversity-tech platform that matches women, non-binary, and people of color financial professionals with conference organizers & journalists seeking their subject matter expertise, and offers a conference diversity certification. In addition, I am an author and speaker focused on fostering candid conversations about gender and race in financial services. I believe that financial services in the United States should be reflective of the population of the United States, from entry level to the board room, and all of my work advances that cause. My professional background of two decades includes 14 years in traditional financial and investment roles, including as CEO of a Broker Dealer and RIA, 6 years as a consultant and speaker, and most recently, co-founder of Choir, a financial services diversity-tech platform. It is a pleasure to combine my financial skills and extensive network, with my drive for gender and racial equity. I'm also a subject matter expert in ESG - and have been since before it was cool, ha! I spent 6 years as a consultant, writer and speaker in that space. Much of my writing on the topic remains relevant today. You can read more words from me at my occasional Morningstar column, hear from me on podcasts (links at the bottom of the Choir home page), or chat with me on Twitter or here on LinkedIn. Sonya is also an author, speaker, and outspoken advocate for racial and gender equity in financial services.
