WEBINAR
Member Profiles Kickoff: Meet Françoise Birnholz
|
|
Due to the absence of in-person events, where you chat informally with colleagues, the Zurich members of 100 Women in Finance will launch a get-acquainted series: Member Profiles. Featuring our own members, you will get to know colleagues from the diverse spectrum of roles and institutions who comprise the local group.
Meet Françoise Birnholz, one of the co-founders of the Zurich location. After more than 20 years in the legal and banking industries, Birnholz focuses on the start-up world in Switzerland. She will share her perspective on the intersections of these three sectors and how her experience has contributed to her success in these fields. Learn how important mentorship is along the way and how you may share your knowledge with others.
The floor is open to nominations for profiles of other members with an interesting story to tell, whether yourself or a colleague. Please send nominations for an interview on Member Profiles to eduzur@100women.org.
In 100 Women in Finance’s 20th Anniversary Year we will be highlighting volunteers and members. This event is part of this initiative.
Produced by the 100WF Zurich Committee.
