Heather Fortner is the CEO and Chair of the Board of Signature FD, a private wealth management and consulting firm located in Atlanta, GA. Naturally as someone in her role, Heather is called upon each and every day to embody the skills, wisdom and guidance required of a leader.

Heather Fortner joins host Doug McVadon on today’s episode of Empowering Leadership to discuss this podcast’s namesake: the ability to empower through leadership. Heather talks about working her way up from customer service representative to CEO, and how a teaching moment with her father let her know that she would be able to make it. Heather discusses how each of her team members is empowered to learn new skills and personal investments, thereby bringing those investments to the business table. She also talks about defining success not by the clothes or the cars, but by how she empowers others.
