Carol Hunter
Carol Hunter is a highly respected Personal Finance Strategist, transformational speaker, and founder of Carol Hunter Global, where she helps professional women repair broken money systems and realign their finances with a clear vision for freedom and wealth creation. Her journey began with a degree in Accounting from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga—but her real education came from confronting the realities of financial illiteracy firsthand. Graduating with over $30,000 in unsecured debt spread across 19 credit cards, Carol made a bold decision to take control of her financial future.
Through discipline, strategy, and a deep mindset shift, Carol eliminated her debt and transformed her relationship with money. That transformation ignited a mission—to help others do the same. What began as a personal breakthrough evolved into a powerful platform that has generated a lucrative income through speaking engagements, financial literacy programs, coaching, and strategic investing. Her story resonates deeply with high-achieving women who earn well yet feel financially misaligned, overwhelmed, or stuck.
For more than three decades, Carol has delivered accessible, actionable financial education through her first company, Prosperity Unlimited, Inc., founded in 1993, and now through Carol Hunter Global, established in 2018. Her work spans webinars, courses, private coaching, live training, and corporate partnerships, all designed to help individuals build confidence, clarity, and control over their money. Her expertise covers personal financial management, credit optimization, debt elimination, wealth-building, and investing—with a strong emphasis on sustainable, real-life strategies.
Affectionately known as The Money Mender, Carol is recognized for her ability to simplify complex financial concepts while inspiring transformational change. She empowers individuals to rewrite their financial stories, replace fear with faith and strategy, and pursue wealth creation with intention and purpose.
In addition to her entrepreneurial success, Carol brings extensive corporate leadership experience, having held senior roles such as Assistant Controller at Wesley Woods/Emory Geriatric Hospital and Senior Marketing Executive at Melaleuca. She uniquely blends accounting expertise, business acumen, and mentorship to deliver impactful results. Today, Carol continues to innovate in the personal finance space, serving as a trusted guide, speaker, and educator for those ready to move beyond survival and into true financial freedom.
