Quotes:
“I often say, I know we're not saving lives, but I love saving companies and helping them navigate their strategies and futures."
“I've always approached my career with a mindset of I am who I am, and I don't really see being a woman as something that defines my ability to succeed or limit what I can accomplish.”
“And I just want to say that a key driver of our success for Women Driving Growth over the past couple of years has been the continued support from our amazing women partners at BDO and our male allies as well.”
“So I think we have a responsibility to bring that next generation into the good, the bad, and the ugly calls. I think sometimes we're all in the client services business here. Sometimes we may not want that junior to sit in on that really tough conversation where we need to have a conversation with a client. I think we need to bring them in and need to allow them to shadow and find unique ways to be a part of it.”
“We're starting to see that movement away from tokenism and seeing that shift towards women in the boardroom playing critical roles in decision making, which is really great to see.”
