Katy Saei earned her bachelor degree from Marshall Business School of USC with minor in accounting. She worked at GW Savings and Loans as a senior accountant until her first daughter was born. In 2004, she and her husband started R.J. Equity Partners, and later First Financial Capital which both companies are family owned and operated finance and real estate holding companies.
