Sheri harnesses the power of emotional connection to help financial professionals create more trust in their client relationships and make their engagements more meaningful to their businesses, and more impactful to their bottom line.
Her deep expertise in the retirement plan and wealth management industries, gained over nearly 30 years on both the buy and sell side as well as starting two companies, gives her special insight into what drives investor behavior and sales. Her latest industry innovation, digitalEQ™ (Digital Emotional Intelligence), is Sheri’s highly personalized approach to helping financial professions use thought leadership, branding, marketing, and presentations to be unforgettable.
Sheri wrote and published Deconstructing Digital: Simple Ways to Connect with Your Next-Generations Financial Clients, a guide for advisors navigating the digital realm.

A compassionate technologist and entrepreneur (at age five, she made and marketed rose-scented perfume door-to-door), Sheri is leading and demonstrating how to humanize financial services—the key to reimagining how advice can be delivered to more people with greater impact. As a young single mom, Sheri remembers struggling with financial insecurity. When she was hired as a graphic designer at an investment firm in the 1990s, she saw just how the financial services industry can make a real difference in people’s lives. Sheri realized her mission was to help financial professionals have more meaningful engagements with their clients, so they feel financially confident.
If all of that isn’t enough to pique your interest, Sheri was also named Paper Girl of the Year (1976). So, you can be confident that when you work with Sheri Fitts, she delivers.

Personal passions
Sheri, her husband Greg and their Newfie, Fezzig Andre Fitts-Haworth, love exploring the outdoors in Portland, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. Sheri’s morning walks up Mount Tabor Park give her time to rejuvenate and catch up on her latest audio book. She loves casing local farmers’ markets and dreaming up of something new to try in the kitchen. During her free time, you might find Sheri on her SUP, practicing pilates or in her studio working with fused glass. Coffee is another passion, made just so. She rarely misses Burning Man, where she’s building a reputation for “reclaiming” abandoned bicycles and trading cocktails for toothpaste.
