In an impressive career spanning over a decade, Dr. Traci Elizabeth Thomas, a distinguished Venture Capitalist and founder of NTT Management Group, Inc., has reached the pinnacle of the finance industry while continually evolving her approach to client service and investment strategies. Now at the age of 60, Dr. Thomas is making waves with her unique fusion of financial acumen and psychological insight.
Dr. Thomas established NTT Management Group’s headquarters in San Francisco and Beverly Hills, CA, where the firm has seen tremendous growth. Armed with her extensive knowledge in financial technology (FinTech), she has set a high bar in the industry with her commitment to providing clients with the “5 C’s”: Capital, Credit, Cash, Corporations, and Character. Acknowledging the need for continued education and adaptability in a fast-paced market, she has taken significant steps to upgrade her expertise.
In June 2021, an unexpected invitation from the Vice Provost of Harvard University inspired Dr. Thomas to pursue further academic challenges. She enrolled in a rigorous program that honed her skills amidst an impressive faculty while juggling her responsibilities as a venture capitalist. “The curriculum is intense and forces you to be flexible, sharp, creative, articulate, and organized,” she notes. “The FinTech space is ever-evolving, and it rewards innovation like never before.”
Dr. Thomas, however, is not naive to the darker aspects of the financial world. She candidly acknowledges the presence of problematic personalities drawn to wealth and power, emphasizing the need for preventive measures to protect her clients. “The finance sector can attract individuals with dubious intentions, and we must be proactive in safeguarding our businesses and our clients,” she asserts.
Fast forward to June 2025, Dr. Thomas has expanded her understanding of the intricate relationships between financial instruments and personality disorders. Following an invitation from Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a renowned psychologist and author, she is now pursuing certification that merges finance with psychological principles. This groundbreaking initiative aims to enhance the protection of client assets, wealth, and privacy, ensuring that intangible values like sanity and self-esteem remain intact.
Her credentials speak volumes: Dr. Thomas holds degrees in FinTech and Aviation Management & Economics, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Her esteemed accolades include membership in Phi Theta Kappa, The National Dean’s List, and the Harvard Management and Finance Club. NTT Management Group, Inc. operates internationally in the United States, Mumbai, India, and Business Bay, Dubai, alongside her credit consultation firm, No Sweat It Credit, Inc.
As Dr. Traci Elizabeth Thomas continuously pushes the boundaries of what is possible in venture capital and financial safety, her journey serves as a beacon for aspiring entrepreneurs and industry veterans alike, reminding us all that blending financial expertise with psychological insights can lead to transformative results for individuals and businesses alike.
