Testimonials are part of the key criteria. “Mentoring women who are starting or continuing to build their own businesses as well as those aspiring to leadership roles within the family office and wealth and investment management businesses, is a priority for me,” said Linda. “I remember the challenges I faced in starting my own business. I am happy to help pave the way for other women and pay it forward. Being nominated in this category is truly special.”
