Kiana Daniel
Kiana Danial is a prominent financial education expert, entrepreneur, and the CEO of Invest Diva, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals—particularly women—to take control of their financial futures. She is widely recognized for her expertise in personal investing, cryptocurrency, and wealth management, frequently appearing as a commentator on major networks like Fox Business, CNBC, and Forbes.
Background and Personal Story
Born into a Jewish family in Iran, Danial’s early life was shaped by the challenges of her family's history post-revolution. She moved to Japan to study electrical engineering, where she was often the only woman in her classes. Her path to financial expertise began after she moved to New York and was fired from her job on Wall Street. This experience led her to develop her own investing strategies, eventually growing a multi-million dollar portfolio and founding the Invest Diva movement to help others avoid the pitfalls of traditional money management.
