After attending a number of Risky Women events curated by the incomparable Kimberley Cole I feel very fortunate to attend another that proves to once again be highly engaging and insightful. Very thought provoking discussion all round led by Ruth Steinholtz.

… what a wonderful event! Thank you it was perfect. Great [women], great food, beautiful tables and gorgeous goodies amazing speakers and super uber awesome facilitator!!  So marvelous we could do this!  PowerfulRiskyWomen!!

Becoming a Risky Woman is the biggest risk that I have taken in my career.

It’s not just about setting and forgetting, you’re going to have to set, but you need to review, and you need to renew and you need to rebuild those compliance functions as well.

What’s behind the headlines is an appetite for not only challenging environments, but creative thinking and doing things that were not done before.

The biggest risk I’ve taken so far is actually right here and right now.

Don’t try to save the world in everything. Pick your fights and make sure you win the fights you pick.

A year ago, Thomson Reuters launched its first Risky Women event in North America, bringing together a global network of female leaders who came together to connect, celebrate and champion women in risk and compliance roles. The group has given a voice to women who work in financial services in these challenging roles.

The forum was so interesting and I was absolutely honored to attend the breakfast surrounded by such intelligent, thought provoking, successful women all sharing their ideas, experiences, and suggestions. Looking forward to the next time!

I am so glad I was able to participate and be part of this event and especially to see all these women in positions of power, such a beautiful moment to experience.
