Being a minority in the financial industry is a tough gig, but Winnie is using her knowledge to let other women know it is possible.
“When I first started in this industry, I didn’t know that women were such a minority. I grew to learn what a gift and opportunity this was in helping clients in all stages of their financial well-being. The Investment News recognition is incredible and to share the stage with such impressive, generous women is overwhelming.” Winnie articulates.
With over 400 nominations for this award, being chosen is quite an honor. Winnie was chosen because her work has already made a lasting impression on the financial industry. She is a notable leader at her firm and has proven her enthusiasm to share her experiences and give back to the industry as a whole.
