Attending and running events for the Financial Services industry means I often find myself as “the odd one out”, in rooms and stages that are filled prevalently
Things have surely changed since I started my career in this sector back in 2007, but there is still a steep path ahead for an equal gender representation at such convenings.
We Are The City asked me to be part of their inspirational women series and I could not say NO :) Here is the interview.
Paola Garbini, Founder of NOI Club, allergic to gender inequality, mum of two, globetrotter and Global Marketing Manager for Financial Institutions at BCG.
“How was it?” I was asked when I came back from TEDWomen 2018.
It was so hard to answer!
I had the immense privilege of attending my first ever TEDWomen event earlier this month. I still find it hard to describe it in just a couple of words. It meant so much to me on so many levels. I will try to explain.
During the 9th July event we discussed about some life changing books. One of them was Be a Free Range Human by Marianne Cantwell. After the event I prepared a list of resources that included this book and shared it with the NOI ladies on facebook. Lorna, one of the founding members, mentioned to me that Marianne was in London.
