Letter from our Founder
The durable gender gap in finance-related industries has led many companies to start acting upon it. Recognizing the challenges of breaking into this sector as young female graduates, I decided to found an association at Bocconi University, with the collaboration of seven extremely ambitious and talented fellow students.
We aspire to create a community where cooperation prevails over competition. Bocconi Students Women in Finance’s underlying mission and passion is to empower female students and help them realize their goals. We believe that collaboration and support are key to reducing the deep-rooted gender bias and, eventually, shatter the glass ceiling. Through workshops, panels and events, we aim to instill confidence in fellow female students and to empower them.
As the first female Bocconi association entirely focused on finance, we expand and evolve as needed to meet the changing landscape. We started out, four years ago, with 8 members and count today more than 40 active members, and 30+ alumnae.
Bocconi Students Women in Finance has exciting plans for the future. I look forward to sharing them with you.
Sincerely,
Bocconi Students Women in Finance
