Champion of Race & Gender Equity

Sonya thinks financial services in the United States should be reflective of the population in the United States, from entry level to the board room.

Women of Color are 20% of the US population, make up 21% of entry level roles in financial services, and only 1% of C-Suite roles in.

White Men are 30% of the US population, make up 31% of entry level roles in financial services, and an overwhelming 73% of C-Suite roles.*

Let’s change this, starting today!
Sonya fosters real-talk conversations about gender and race in financial services, both inside of organizations, and at financial conferences with pragmatic steps everyone can take to ensure greater representation in this powerful and rewarding profession.
