Dinner with Susan Huang, hosted by Morgan Stanley - 17 October 2024

Reflecting on an exceptional evening with Women In Finance France and Morgan Stanley. It was an honor to host our second inspiring Women In Finance France dinner in partnership with Morgan Stanley, a firm that shares our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. The event featured 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠, Executive Chairman of Global Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley, who generously shared her insights with us. With over 35 years of experience with the bank, 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠 is an inspirational leader who has shaped the global landscape of investment banking. Her journey from Analyst to Executive Chairman is a testament to her visionary leadership and dedication.

This intimate gathering of 15 executive guests fostered open, honest discussions on how we can elevate women to leadership roles in financial services, while building meaningful connections.

Key takeaways from our conversation with Susie Huang include:
1️⃣ Focus on mastering business and technical skills early on. Technical expertise provides a strong foundation for success.
2️⃣ Be clear about what you want and ask for it.
3️⃣ Mentorship is essential in navigating your career.
4️⃣ It's about being effective, not just fitting in. Know when to set boundaries and prioritize balance.

A special thanks to Susan Huang for her invaluable insights and to Morgan Stanley for this powerful partnership. The evening was truly inspiring, and we look forward to more opportunities to collaborate and keep pushing the boundaries in our industry.
