#034 Vanessa Vallely OBE, Managing Director of WeAreTheCity - Betting On Yourself!

My guest today, Vanessa Vallely, embodies everything we celebrate on this podcast! I am thrilled to introduce her to you.

Vanessa Vallely is the CEO and founder of WeAreTheCity.com, which has 140,000 female members. Vanessa's corporate experience stems from a 25 year career in Banking, holding roles such as Head of Governance, Business Management & COO across nine financial institutions.

Vanessa has won 22 awards for her work in finance, gender equality, entrepreneurship and charity - including OBE - which stands for the order of the British Empire award - for her services to Women and the Economy 2018. Vanessa is an accomplished founder, entrepreneur and global speaker.

In this episode, we discussed so many incredible things!

First, we discuss one of my favorite topics, creating opportunities even when they appear limited. Vanessa’s story really illustrates the art of punching above your weight and being brave enough to raise your hand. Vanessa also tells us about how she dreamt about working in the financial industry and how she made that happen, despite not having the typical academic background. Yes, she faced her fair amount of ‘'no's'' along the way.

If you want to hear more, you'll have to listen to the episode!
