Dr. Cora Pettipas CFP is an award winning global financial strategist, bestselling author, and creator of transformative frameworks that redefine what it means to build true wealth. With a doctorate in finance and an international career spanning financial system design, strategic leadership, and wealth education, she brings a rare blend of academic depth, industry expertise, and lived experience to her work.

As a global senior manager at an international firm, Cora has shaped financial planning strategies and digital innovation across global markets. Yet her mission extends far beyond traditional finance. After witnessing how conventional definitions of success often lead to burnout, imbalance, and disconnection, she developed the Compass Star PATH – a holistic model that integrates Passion, Abundance, Time, and Health to help individuals and organizations cultivate sustainable, meaningful wealth.

Her first book, Compass Star: Your PATH to True Wealth, became an Amazon international bestseller and sparked a movement toward intentional living and abundance. Cora’s work has been featured in outlets such as Harper’s Bazaar, Wall Street Journal, Investment Executive, and other global publications, where she is recognized for her ability to translate complex financial concepts into accessible, emotionally resonant guidance.

Through her weekly blogs, workshops, and speaking engagements, Cora empowers audiences to move beyond scarcity, fear, and societal expectations, and toward a life defined by alignment, purpose, and inner clarity. She is also a dedicated mentor to the next generation, supporting young leaders – in navigating their careers.

Warm, visionary, and deeply committed to helping others rise, Cora is redefining wealth for a new era: one where success is measured not only by financial outcomes, but by the coherence, wellbeing, and authenticity of a life fully lived.
