Find your voice. That’s the advice Sue O’Connell offers to women who seek professional advancement, whether in the first decade of their financial industry careers or beyond. Learn how O’Connell took her own advice to heart, rising from a position as relationship manager in the mutual funds group to later lead the hedge fund group and, ultimately, serve as President of the Wellington Funds Group and Partner of Wellington Management.
In a moderated conversation, O’Connell will reflect on the challenges she faced in the 1990s, plus lessons learned. She will also take note of the modern-day hurdles young women still face in a male-dominated industry. Please email your questions in advance to nextgenboston@100women.org or you may also submit them during the session.
In this launch event, members of the 100WF NextGen Boston Committee will introduce themselves and share their vision for the group’s future, including how you and other interested volunteers can join the committee.
This virtual event is open to all 100WF members globally, who are welcome to invite an industry friend or colleague who would be interested in NextGen programming and learning about 100 Women in Finance membership.
Produced by the 100WF NextGen Boston Committee.
