The Golden Bachelor's Theresa Nist Announces Exciting Career Opportunity After Heartbreaker Gerry Turner Ruins Reputation

The Golden Bachelor winner Theresa Nist's reputation was tarnished after she and Gerry Turner announced their divorce just three months after their Golden Wedding, but she's now moving on with an exciting career opportunity. During The Golden Bachelor season 1, Gerry, a 72-year-old retired restaurateur from Hudson, Indiana, and Theresa, a 70-year-old financial services professional from Shrewbury, New Jersey, became engaged and then married just a few months later. However, they got divorced because they couldn't decide where to live because neither one of them wanted to leave their family.

In an Instagram Story, Theresa announced that she'll be a speaker at "Women & Wealth: A CNBC Your Money Event," on September 25, 2024, at 1 p.m. EDT. According to CNBC, this is an online event, for which people can register. Other speakers at the event will be Lazetta Rainey Braxton (CEO & President, The Real Wealth Coterie), Trish Costello (CEO & Founder, Portfolia), and Racquel Oden (US Head of Wealth and Personal Banking, HSBC).

The CNBC website stated, "Women’s wealth is rising globally. As a result, more women are managing their finances than ever before. Despite being reported as better investors, only 36% of women are investing in general as opposed to 63% of men." The CNBC website continued, "When it comes to building your savings, it’s important to feel confident and empowered. Whether you are returning to the workforce, starting a new career or just looking to improve your relationship with money, CNBC’s Women & Wealth will help you advocate for yourself and fund your future."

CNBC described Theresa as "Senior Compliance & Operations Liaison, World Investments & Reality TV Star." Her bio stated that she has over 25 years of experience in the Securities Industry, and she holds seven securities licenses, the 7, 63, 24, 53, 4, and 65. Theresa began her career in 1998, when she successfully traded her own account. She then developed "a great love and appreciation for the markets."

Theresa has had key positions with Datek Online, Ryan Beck (now Stifel Nicolaus), MetLife Securities and has been working at World Investments, Inc. since March 2016. CNBC stated, "Theresa is primarily responsible for knowing, implementing and enforcing the rules and regulations of the securities industry. She responds to regulatory items as needed and presents at various conferences." She enjoys gardening, photography, pickleball, and golf. Theresa most loves being with her family, especially her six grandsons: Brandon, Brody, Braxton, Dempsey, Leo and Henry.
