Are you looking for a woman in finance? Better yet, do you want to BE a woman in finance? Meet Urmi Hossain, an associate in portfolio management in Montreal, Canada. She’s the first guest in our Women at Work series for Women’s History Month. Urmi shares how she worked her way through the industry to her dream role, the benefits of “extracurriculars” like Toastmasters, and what she’s learned from a career mistake in university.
Find Urmi on LinkedIn, YouTube, or Instagram. You can find her book on Amazon.
