Career

OverviewCharlie began her entrepreneurial journey while studying, creating an online platform called PoverUp to aid students in establishing micro-finance clubs. She later founded Frank in 2016, a website designed to assist students with their FAFSA applications. In 2017, the United States Department of Education accused Frank of potentially misleading customers to believe it was affiliated with the US government, forcing the company to change its website from frankfafsa.com to frank.com. In September 2021, she sold Frank to JPMorgan Chase for $175 million by falsely claiming over 4 million customers when it had fewer than 300,000, and was appointed managing director at JPMorgan overseeing student-focused products. She was suspended in September 2022 and terminated in November 2022 following a lawsuit. In January 2023, she was charged with fraud along with Olivier Amar, Frank's chief growth and acquisition officer. She was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud, and securities fraud charges and sentenced in September 2025 to 85 months in prison.
