We have many women now leading big financial institutions, which many people never imagined a woman could lead.

The skills and abilities anyone brings to a job are what matter, not because you are a man or woman.

What you can achieve or what you are capable of is taken away simply because you are a woman.

Once women are able to have this strong base, they will have a much stronger voice to speak up against exclusion.

The assumption is always that if it’s a man, he will succeed and a woman will struggle and fail. This mindset needs to be changed and done away with.

I also believe that no matter at what level of your career, as a woman you have to have a good balance between your work life and your family life.
