Edward Foxworth III, MBA, MAET

Edward Foxworth III, MBA, MAET is the Founder & CEO of APEX Leadership Academy, a nonprofit organization committed to preparing young people for lifelong success through leadership development, financial education, entrepreneurship, and workforce readiness. He is also the creator of LaunchPad Financial Literacy, an engaging financial education initiative that helps students develop the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to make informed financial decisions.

As more states require personal finance education for high school graduation, Edward created LaunchPad Financial Literacy with a simple belief: every student deserves the opportunity to graduate with the financial knowledge and confidence to build a successful future. Today, LaunchPad partners with schools, youth organizations, and community leaders to deliver engaging, standards-aligned financial education that prepares students for the financial opportunities and responsibilities of adulthood.

The ELEVATE 1M Initiative is LaunchPad's national campaign with the goal of empowering one million young people by 2035 through high-quality financial literacy education. By bringing together educators, schools, nonprofits, employers, and community partners, the initiative is helping create a generation of financially capable young adults prepared to succeed in college, careers, entrepreneurship, and life.
