Few CEOs can claim that they started in entry-level positions at the
companies they now lead. Penny Pennington is one of those few, rising from
financial advisor to CEO and Managing Partner at Edward Jones. In this episode,
Pennington reflects on how Edward Jones’ purpose – “to partner for positive
impact” – motivated her personal and professional life and, nowadays, how she
has been working to realize that sense of purpose for Edward Jones’ employees,
clients, and the communities in which they live.
