There’s nothing a woman in a power suit can’t do. Shake up a male-dominated industry? Check. Redefine leadership? Check. Inspire generations to come? Check.
In this episode, Rayna Lesser Hannaway shares her inspiration for doing all of the above.
Listen as Rayna and Stacy discuss:
• Her backstory– from looking up to her fierce, go-getter lawyer mom to becoming a powerhouse female in finance
• How competitive company culture can sabotage the due diligence process
• Her approach to encouraging collaboration and keeping core values at the heart of Polen’s operation
• How collaboration can be a boutique’s secret sauce for standing out amongst the bigs
…and so much more.
