Making an impact: Invesco's collaborative session with 100 Women in Finance
Careers
On Wednesday, 14th February,
Invesco opened its doors and hosted a session in coordination with 100 Women in Finance. A group
of young women from across different London universities were invited to our
London office to understand a little more about Invesco and a possible career
in Asset Management.
The event kicked off with a
networking session followed by a panel discussion, before breaking out into
small groups to learn a bit more about the different roles that are available
within Invesco, as well as the functions they sit in. Our employees were
equally curious to hear from the students themselves about their perceptions of
the broader industry and preconceptions on what both excites them and
intimidates them about Finance/Asset Management; jargon was high on that list.
100 Women in Finance is a global
membership organisation focused on advancing women into board and executive
leadership positions within the finance industry. They are committed to
building a more diverse and gender equitable finance industry by promoting
diversity of thought, raising visibility, and empowering women to find their
personal path to success which aligns perfectly with our DE&I goals.
“We are grateful to Invesco
for partnering to produce this site visit. It was one of the most engaging and
interesting events of its kind I've attended, and students clearly agreed: 100%
of survey respondents reported that the event changed their perceptions of the
finance industry, and 100% planned to pursue opportunities at Invesco!” Allison Jegla, Global Director of
