Welcome to AccelPro Audit, where we provide expert interviews and coaching to accelerate your professional development. Today we’re featuring a conversation with Guylaine Saint Juste, the CEO of the National Association of Black Accountants.
Saint Juste is former banking executive at Capital One, where she oversaw small business strategy and led various aspects of business banking, including talent acquisition, performance management, marketing and sales. She was also the former Executive of Year Up, a non-profit organization that helps develop talent and provide opportunities for promising young adults.
“There's plenty of talent in this country. But we're not engaging with it,” Saint Juste explains. “When firms told me that because of macroeconomic pressure, that they wouldn't spend the$30, $40, $50 thousand dollars that we asked them to pay to have access to this pipeline, and therefore didn't show up, that, for me, continues to permeate this conversation that we have about talent.”
