Zebediah Lee Chapman

I'm Susan L. Powers, CFA, CFP®, CPFA, a financial professional with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals, families, and business owners make thoughtful, confident financial decisions. Before co-founding AssetGrade, I served as a senior executive at Fidelity, where I managed Fidelity's $1.2 trillion 401(k) investment consulting practice, one of the largest retirement platforms in the country. That experience allows me to blend institutional-level insight with a personalized approach tailored to real-life goals and challenges. I'm also a frequent guest speaker on Wharton Business Radio on SiriusXM, where I help demystify complex financial topics in a way that's practical, approachable, and empowering.
