Hi, thanks for visiting my website. My name is Krissy Jones and I’m a wife, mother of three and a serial, award winning entrepreneur who has founded and managed projects in retail, forex and media. I am also an experienced forex trader and founder of Fortuna International Group, which owns several brands of forex brokers. I have also founded a forex services media site called The Forex Library, where I am an unpaid author of educational articles and news related to forex trading. My career began in health and social care, initially training as a social worker and then becoming the youngest ever Registered Home Manager at the age of 21. One of my proudest achievements was to improve the standard of care in the home I had responsibility for from poor to outstanding in just one year.
Throw me to the wolves and I’ll come back leading the pack
ABOUT ME
Following this I next trained as an assessor and teacher, and then went on to set up and grow two successful training companies, one of which was to become a large national training provider. I then set up a education company in 2010, a business that I founded with a £2,000 loan and grew to the value of £11m in under two years. Since then, I founded several companies in the finance industry and Global Edge Media who owns The Forex Library both of which are in the forex industry.
As you will see if you read the My Story section on my website, my pathway to success has been an interesting one but my experiences have led me to the position I am in today as a successful entrepreneur with business interests in a number of fields. My experiences have made me stronger, having the ability to get through any hard times and quickly use both successes and mistakes as positive learning tools.
I am a philanthropist with a particular passion in helping families and children who are living in poverty. I am a volunteer at The LA Food Bank and also fundraise for and sponsor families and children living in poverty. In England I used to be a voluntary mentor for The Princes Trust where I enjoyed supporting young people with their new business ventures.
Outside of work, I enjoy fashion, fitness and socializing! I live in Beverly Hills with my husband, three children, and Taffy our dog.

Philanthropy– I have a particular passion for helping people living in poverty and a strong belief that no person should ever go hungry. I volunteer for the LA food bank which is a non-profit organization helping to fight hunger in Los Angeles. They source and acquire food and other products and distribute to needy people. As a volunteer I help with food distribution both on the road and at food pantry’s.
