AJ Bishop-Andrews

AJ Bishop-Andrews is an internationally recognized speaker, wealth strategist, and the founder of FEROZ — a movement redefining wealth, power, and legacy for high-performing women who are ready to lead from within. With more than two decades of leadership experience at institutions like JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Key Private Bank, AJ brings the clarity of a strategist, the presence of a coach, and the grounded wisdom of someone who’s lived what she teaches. She’s not just advising women through transition — she’s lived it. As a first-generation college graduate, former senior wealth executive, and stepmother, AJ built a life of success, security, and status.

That moment of reckoning became a catalyst — not just for change, but for reclamation. linkedin.com/in/aj-bishop
