Kick It Open: Teaser

03/28/24 • 2 min

Less than a quarter of all financial advisors or wealth planners are women. And, less than a quarter of senior leaders within the broker-dealers, RIAs, custodians and asset managers are women. Those of us in the industry need to stick together, share our wisdom and accelerate growth.
Muriel Siebert, the first woman member of the NYSE, said "When a door is hard to open and nothing else works, sometimes you just have to rear back and kick it open."
After decades of sluggish progress, it's time to kick the door open on women's success.
Hosted by Shelby Nicholl, a 25-year corporate vet turned founder of Muriel Network, a company centered around a digital community exclusively for women who work in wealth management.
