While women remain underrepresented in the finance industry generally, particularly at the most senior levels, the finance industry presents an exciting career opportunity for women. Work in the finance industry offers strong economic opportunity, a voice at the table where key decisions in business are made, and success in the industry depends on many qualities, including relationship building, risk assessment and investing acumen, where studies have shown women outperform their male counterparts.

Our future as a firm depends on us attracting and retaining the most qualified women. The Women’s Leadership Program at Centerview sponsors multiple events and networking sessions throughout the year, including panels and enrichment programs at schools and online. Within our firm, the Program also works to increase gender parity and equity, and create continuing opportunities for women as their careers advance.
