Sonders is the Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Strategist for Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. She has a range of investment strategy responsibilities reaching from market and economic analysis to investor education, all focused on the individual investor. She chairs Schwab's Investment Strategy Council, which provides strategic asset allocation guidance and tactical sector recommendations for the firm's investor base. The output of Sonders' work is via written reports, audio recordings, conference calls and webcasts. She is a regular contributor to all of Schwab's client newsletters and the keynote speaker at many of the firm's corporate and client events.

Prior to joining Schwab in 2002, Sonders was a Managing Director at U.S. Trust (a division of Schwab from 2000 to 2007) and a member of its Investment Policy Committee. Before U.S. Trust, Sonders spent 13 years at Avatar Associates, an original division of the Zweig/Avatar Group, ending her tenure as a Managing Director and a member of the firm's six-person Management Committee.

She is a regular guest on many CNBC programs (including regularly guest-hosting Squawk Box) as well as on CBS Evening News and CBS' The Early Show, ABC's Good Morning America, Fox News, and Bloomberg TV and Radio. Beginning in 1997, she was a regular panelist and guest host on PBS' (and subsequently CNBC's) Wall $treet Week With Louis Rukeyser. Sonders is often quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, The New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Financial Times, SmartMoney, BusinessWeek and many international publications.

She is a frequent speaker about the stock market and the economy at money-management seminars nationwide, is an annual invitee to Fortune magazine's The Most Powerful Women Summit and is a regular panelist at New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) events. In 2006, she was named one of SmartMoney's "Power 30," the magazine's list of the most influential people on Wall Street, alongside Warren Buffett, Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke.

In 2005, Sonders was appointed to and served on President Bush's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform. The commission's bipartisan report remains under review by Congress and the Senate Finance Committee. In 2007, Sonders was named to the national board of directors and appointed treasurer for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America. She received the 2007 Thomas E. Sinton Humanitarian Award from The Tower of Hope Foundation and now serves on its advisory board. In 2008, Sonders was honored by the Girl Scouts of New York as an “Exceptional Role Model for Young Women.”

Sonders received her B.A. in economics and political science from the University of Delaware. Currently, she sits on two endowment advisory committees for the university. She received her M.B.A. in finance from Fordham University.
