Smart Woman Securities at Johns Hopkins

We recently had the privilege of hosting an engaging information session with Stifel Financial Corp. as part of the Imagine Center’s Finance Industry Week. The event brought together like-minded women at JHU, united by their enthusiasm to explore the finance industry and career opportunities with Stifel. Thank you to Alina Pannone, Kyle Heaney, and Avery Ostro for sharing your insights about your career journeys and offering invaluable advice for navigating the finance landscape. It was inspiring to see how companies like Stifel are committed to supporting the next generation of finance leaders, especially young women looking to make an impact. Thanks again to Stifel for such an engaging event!

In our #ExecutiveDialogueSeries, students across 9 universities had the honor of speaking with Mr. óscar García Maceiras, the CEO of Inditex. We delved into the strategic vision of Inditex built upon 4 pillars: fashion, customer experience, people, and sustainability. It was fascinating to hear Mr. García Maceiras’ vision for driving the perpetual growth of one of the world’s largest fashion retailers while balancing its commitment to quality and accessibility. The #ExecutiveDialogueSeries was initiated by SWS at JHU and co-curated by women’s business and finance organizations across 9 universities. This first-time initiative connected the future generations of female leaders in business and finance with empowering insights of top executives. A heartfelt thank you to Mr. García Maceiras for sharing his inspiring journey at Inditex and the power of humility in leadership. Shout out to all project leaders and participating students from Smart Woman Securities at JHU, UPenn, Dartmouth, NYU, Georgetown, Yale, and UVA, as well as Women in Investing at Stanford and Women in Business at Princeton!
