Unchecked bad behavior runs rampant at many financial services conferences. Below are stories of harassment and assault incidents at conferences as told by the women-in-finance who experienced them.
I started blogging in 2017 to stay in touch with clients and prospects. The practice has since turned into a newsletter, several series’, including the widely shared Do Better series, conference write ups, and impact investing leader interviews. I am a contributing writer at Morningstar and Financial Planning, and have also written articles for CNBC, and FA Magazine. Most of my writing falls into the categories of ESG & Impact Investing, or Race & Gender in Finance.
