Background

About Joann Small

Joann Small became CEO of Crash Proof Retirement on January 1, 2012, after founder Phil Cannella stepped down to pursue a new venture at Retirement Media, Inc. His natural choice to replace him at the helm of the company he founded was his longtime colleague, and Crash Proof Retirement Show® co-host, Joann Small. With Ms. Small’s three decades of experience working closely with those at or near retirement, she was in a perfect position to help retirees make difficult decisions about an uncertain future. As CEO, she is continuing the tradition of the firm by working exclusively with retirees on protecting their retirement nest eggs. Beyond being an expert in retirement finance, Joann Small’s experiences as a woman in the financial industry have helped her relate to many female retirees. Statistics show that half of American women over age 65 are widowed or divorced, meaning many women come through the doors at Crash Proof Retirement handling their finances alone for the first time. Joann is uniquely qualified to help these retirees understand finances in a comfortable and nurturing environment, away from the fast-paced and typically male-dominated mainstream financial firms.
