INANCE IS, UNFORTUNATELY, still seen as a bit of a men’ s club. Out of the top banks on Forbes’ Global 2000 list, only one has a female CEO: Dame Jane Fraser. Earning the nickname the Queen of Wall Street, she is the first woman to lead a major US bank. This was announced as recently as 2021. Add that to the statistic that, according to research from Bain & Co, Nationwide and Cambridge Judge Business School, only 8 % of women are CEOs of FTSE 350 companies despite making up 36 % of leadership roles, and you get the view of a larger, bleaker picture. Over the coming decades, trillions of dollars in wealth will change hands across generations. Many women face distinct structural barriers that limit their full participation in wealth management strategies. What can companies do to tackle these barriers and distribute a bit of equity at the table? Consulting firms are actively analysing industry dynamics to help wealth managers prepare for future market demands. Capgemini, a global leader in technology and business transformation services, tracks these capital shifts closely. Jeannette Martin serves as the Head of Wealth and Asset Management Consulting for North America at Capgemini.“ I lead Capgemini’ s Asset and Wealth Management advisory practice for North America and have spent over two decades of my career advising C-suite and senior executives across financial services,” Jeannette reveals in an exclusive interview
