Hi, I’m Stacy Havener.
Founder of Havener Capital. Raising billions, stomping glass ceilings, and shaking things up (cocktails included).
I’m a blue-collar girl from the Berkshires who combined a lot of grit with a little glitter to become a successful female entrepreneur in the investment world. Born in the 70’s, survivor of the 80’s, and still in love with the 90’s, I’m obsessed with all things old school – hip-hop music, classic cars and vintage furniture.
