“When I started in financial services in the 1990s, women were frequently hired for support and service roles, and it was uncommon to see women in leadership or senior, external-facing roles. Growing professionally in that era, my biggest challenge was matching my hopes and expectations with the reality of opportunities. I also had the challenge of taking six years off the career track to focus on my children, so I had to restart. I’ve benefited from the many great women role models who helped me envision a path to advancement at different stages. Some of these role models sit on the UMBF board with me!”
