Role Models Series: Authenticity as a Career Strategy

​If you've ever felt “too different,” “too ambitious,” or “too much,” this conversation is for you.

For International Women's Month, we invited our Role Model Abisola B. Sherwood (Director of Global Head of Governance & Oversight at Citi bank) to share her incredible story of being a successful black woman in the banking world.

​Abisola is award-winning leader in risk and transformation, with leadership roles at global banks including Barclays and Citi, where she has driven large-scale change programs and built a reputation as a powerful voice in the industry.

​What we’ll talk about

​• Navigating finance as a Black woman
• The pressure to “fit the mould” in corporate environments
• Authentic leadership and personal identity
• Burnout, resilience and redefining success
• Career growth in high-performance industries

​Who it’s for?

​Students and young professionals interested in finance who want to hear the real stories behind successful careers, not just the highlight reels.
