February 28, 2017 03:01 AM Eastern Standard Time

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Neale Godfrey, a New York Times No. 1 best-selling author and award-winning financial expert best known as “the financial voice for Baby Boomers, Millennials and their offspring,” will soon launch a channel on TheMaven Network, specifically aimed at empowering families to take charge of their financial lives.

"TheMaven is offering a cutting-edge platform for top-of-their-field experts and so I’m thrilled to join them as a founding partner in this network. I plan to soon launch what will be the trusted, go-to place for real family financial advice. My plan is to be with people every step of the way, as they deal with money issues in their lives,” said Godfrey, who has written 27 books and is considered one of the first senior female banking executives in the nation.

Godfrey is the second finance expert to be announced by TheMaven (symbol MVEN) this month, following Brad Thomas, a top REIT investment analyst.

“Neale Godfrey represents exactly what TheMaven stands for,” said James Heckman, CEO and founder of TheMaven Network. “Neale is not only a brilliant communicator of original content, she’s an expert and active participant in her field whose credentials as an advocate for American families are unmatched. In a world of click-bait and commodity news, TheMaven is solely focused on partnering with authentic, passionate, elite experts -- and Neale is all of those things.”

Godfrey is a familiar face on television. She appeared on Oprah more than a dozen times and has been a guest on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox, CNN, CNBC, NBC, ABC and more. She is a regular contributor to Forbes.com and the Huffington Post and an executive-in-residence at Columbia Graduate School of Business. She previously wrote a syndicated column for The Associated Press and participated in the White House Health Care Task Force.

“Who can you talk to about designing a healthy approach to money, manage your kids’ ‘wants’, discuss money problems with your partner -- or your ex!?” asks Godfrey. “Need to fix your credit, provide for aging parents, your own death? I’ll be there no further away than your mobile device as a personal coach, so you can to fulfill your dreams.”

Added Heckman, “The big difference Neale will offer, as will all partners in TheMaven, is professional interaction and community -- in a structured, organized way. Neale’s personality and brilliance we believe will thrive within this tactic.”

TheMaven is an expert-driven, group media network whose state-of-the-art platform serves, by invitation-only, professional, independent channel partners. By providing broader distribution, greater community engagement, and efficient advertising and membership programs, TheMaven enables partners to focus on the key ingredients to their business: creating, informing, sharing, discovering, leading and interacting with the communities and constituencies they serve.

TheMaven Network will launch this quarter in beta as channel partner signings continue to be announced. For more information, visit themaven.net.
