I work in the Human Capital Management division of Goldman Sachs. I’m an Executive Director in the Office of Global Leadership and Diversity (GLD). My job gives me a great deal of variety – from analysing metrics to assessing our recruitment, promotion and retention rates, to running a series of conferences and events.

I’ve been doing this job for just over two years. During that time, I’ve had great opportunities to work with lots of famous and influential external people – from politicians to CEOs, actors and athletes. In my role I get to meet with the most senior members of the company to discuss diversity challenges and accomplishments. When I see how focused they are on diversity, I know that I’m in the right role.

I first came to the firm in 1991, as a summer analyst in Technology. Since then I’ve worked in many departments and divisions. There is no question that opportunities are out there – the key is to do a good job. If you are good and known, opportunities will come to you.
