Born in the United States, specifically California in 1955, Wood studied at the University of Southern California with a degree in science and finance. In her professional development, she has always been struck by the issue of technology, since her father was a radar system engineer and he amazed her with some anecdotes about her.

This achieved in her, have a certain tuning for technological trends; however, she continued her passion for economics and investing and it was when an investment firm offered her a job and she was hired as an assistant at Capital Group.
There she began to have more experience in investments, but that job was too short for her; because her aspirations were higher and she needed something that would contribute much more. It was then that she moved to work in New York in a Jennison Asociates investment firm.
At that time, she held various positions in that company. One of them was the CEO, for more than 15 years of dedication, commitment and a lot of effort to get where she wanted.
However, not everything was perfect, since she, she made some mistakes managing some investment funds in another company and they classified her as a bad investor, but this was during the economic crisis of 2008.
However, all this was left behind because one day it became clear to him that it was time to work on her own account and she founded her own company. Ella wood is Christian and at that time she read the bible a lot and she named it ARK Invest in Spanish. She was inspired by the Ark of the Covenant.
She quickly conquered investments and managed to position herself as one of the 10 most millionaire women in the world with a solid company.
This began to attract the attention of some traditional investors who strongly disagreed with this brilliant woman, who now makes excellent predictions for some publicly traded companies.

No room for fear
Wood is not afraid to make investments and she understands the concept of loss clearly, since in her past she had bitter drinks. This has led her to handle and have totally different strategies and where people do not invest, this woman does.
Companies with modern technology or companies that bring services to the forefront are Wood's favorites, such is the case of Tesla. Currently this has generated percentages at very high levels.
Barriers and stigmas to break
However, today there is a campaign against him so that large investors do not come to his company, they say they have no experience and that he handles things in a somewhat insecure way.
But behind all this there is a reason; which is that Wall Street doesn't trust women very much. Women like Wood's case, exceptional and with very good preparation, do not like them because they maintain the tradition that business is for men.
For this reason there is a bad image for this woman, in which it is sustained that her investments are only reliable in the short term and in the long term they are harmful. And as every investor seeks is security and transparency so that they manage their monetary funds but this type of fact makes them doubt.
However, this incredible woman, who has been an example for all the female gender in the financial area that if it can be achieved in a different way and being faithful to her beliefs. You can add all this together and it is very certain that you will succeed in what you need to achieve.
Focus and vision above all
Wood cares very little about criticism or does not care about the way in which it sometimes stalks her or certain businesses harm her, she also continues to advance in each of her projects and add money for each of the allied investors that she maintains with your company.

This is also a woman who is an example of overcoming and high levels of tolerance, since she is very sure that she has had to live in tense situations where she has kept calm and intelligence to respond to each situation or problem.
I invite you to take control of your life and if you are a woman, use this example so that you see yourself reflected that being a great executive like Wood you can do things differently, in your own way and stand out in that.
Remember that sometimes people can be a bit cruel and tell you a couple of lies to make you abandon your dreams or stop growing. Don't do it and never indulge her, it is allowed that her criticisms may affect you, but take each one of them as a push; because you sure are doing things right.
It is important to remember that, in most cases, new views on a certain topic, which have been developing in a monotonous way, can bring a certain degree of resistance from traditionalists.
However, it is the different visions that innovate in the everyday world; and that they are the same traditionalist people who depend on innovators for the latter to improve their quality of life.
In the case of women, great have been the entrepreneurs who have been to some extent censored and removed from their environment for thinking differently. Such is the case with people like Marie Curie; or Amelia Earhart; who were pioneers in their fields, but initially had to overcome the barrier of traditionalism and the existing patriarchy of the time.
Although many years have passed, there is still a bit of this today, however, you should not let this be a brake on your aspirations and dreams; since it does not matter the social level, gender or age; the true limitations are in the mind; and in the opinion of those people who want you to think that your efforts or visions are not worth it to achieve that change that you are wanting to achieve in your life.
