We prioritize every other pillar of health. Except money.
We count our steps, watch what we eat, and track our sleep. Yet money, the thing stressing out most of us, is the pillar we leave unchecked. That's exactly what Mary & Pip exists to fix.

Mary Holland Nader
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
A Baton Rouge native, Mary Holland studied finance and international business at the University of Georgia and started her career at Deutsche Bank in New York. After years managing money for ultra-high-net-worth clients, she left Wall Street in spring 2025 to film Hulu's Love Thy Nader, where she pitched the idea for Mary & Pip on camera, because apparently that is how companies get started now. These days she runs Mary & Pip from New York and hosts Growing Interest, a podcast that makes money, psychology and AI make sense for the rest of us. Off the clock it's a Stephen King novel and a hot yoga mat, usually in that order.
Kara Cooke
Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer
Kara grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and began her career at UBS Private Wealth Management, working with the firm's Chief Investment Office to build portfolios and financial plans for high- and ultra-high-net-worth clients. Her job was turning market research into something personal: how your money should be spread across investments based on your goals, your timeline and your comfort with risk. In spring 2026 she left UBS to become President & Chief Investment Officer of Mary & Pip, on the theory that good investing shouldn't require a trust fund. She enjoys long walks and her favorite food is sushi.
