Quotable

"M&A is about creativity, judgement, persistence and resilience. My advice to women making their way in this field is to harness their own advantages, such as keen observation and good listening skills, solid technical skills and the capability to make critical judgement calls, while leading with a strong sense of vision, empathy and purpose – all of which will help you be successful in an M&A career."

"It is now well understood that D&I is a source of competitive advantage for institutions. In my experience, having a diverse team brings a new dimension of thinking, as well as new and different skillsets, which is critical."
