Flex and the City - Great leadership in financial services
Flex and the City puts the human back at the heart of financial services.
Rachel Treece, CEO of The Henka Institute, sits down with some of the industry's most remarkable leaders. Not to talk about markets or metrics, but about who they are, how they lead, and what they believe it will take to make financial services something worth being proud of again.
Because the people shaping this industry have fascinating stories. They've navigated crises, made hard calls, got things wrong, and kept going. They've built teams, changed their minds, and found a leadership style that's entirely their own. And most of the time, none of that makes it into a conference panel or a press release.
This is where those conversations finally happen.
Honest, human, and long overdue.
