Monique Gagné
Monique Gagné’s lifelong creative journey began in the vibrant world of fashion, where creativity meets cloth. She then metamorphosed from teaching fashion design to joining Bill Gates' team and becoming a Microsoft Certified IT Trainer. Monique went on to create the CPI software that became the backbone of financial management for the Canadian government. In 2004 she earned certification as a mortgage agent and financial coach and was in the top 5% of mortgage professionals in Canada for two decades. Recognizing a gaping need for financial literacy, she developed Solution Finance to transform how people interact with their finances, designed The Power of Financial Happiness course for financial enlightenment with a 30-day challenge, and wrote the book, Who Took My Money?, to extend this empowerment globally. Monique has also penned a children's version for ages 6 to 12 with a delightful Money Pouch assistant to teach young people the joys and responsibilities that come with money.
