Sandi Rich Saksena is a globally respected financial empowerment mentor, award-winning speaker, and trailblazing entrepreneur who proves that reinvention has no age limit. From starting her career at 44 to becoming a global voice for women’s empowerment, she inspires thousands with her courage, clarity, and unstoppable spirit.
Sandi’s journey is a testament to resilience and reinvention. After a life-changing financial crisis in her 40s, she boldly entered the workforce with no experience, no résumé, and no roadmap. What began as a necessity quickly transformed into her life’s mission — empowering individuals and families to take control of their financial destinies. Her rise to becoming one of the most influential voices in personal finance showcases her remarkable determination.
Over the past three decades, Sandi has built a powerful presence across finance, media, mentorship, and leadership. She led high-performing teams, became the first and only woman sales manager in her division, headed the “Family Matters” advisory vertical, and earned multiple international awards for leadership and empowerment. Beyond finance, she evolved into an editor, podcaster, and global speaker, guiding people across generations toward emotional strength, financial independence, and purposeful living.
What distinguishes Sandi is her fearless approach to life. At ages when most people slow down, she accelerated — skydiving at 68, trekking Mount Kailash, and walking the runway at 71. She founded her own consultancy at 73, embodying her belief that passion has no expiry date. Today, she continues to inspire through her platform Ignite with Sandi, encouraging audiences to rewrite their narratives with confidence and courage.
