The second episode of our Beazley SHE podcast hosted by Gaby Martineau features a riveting discussion about the life and legacy of Muriel "Mickie" Siebert, a pioneer in the world of finance and the first woman to own a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Gaby is joined by three guests, Bethany Greenwood, Karina Varma, and Sunmi Hirata, each of whom brings a unique perspective and expertise to the conversation.
Throughout the episode, the panel delves into Siebert's remarkable story, tracing her rise from humble beginnings to the upper echelons of Wall Street. They discuss the various obstacles and challenges Siebert faced as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and how she overcame them through sheer determination, hard work, and a relentless pursuit of her goals.
The discussion also touches on Siebert's enduring legacy, which extends far beyond her own impressive achievements. The panelists explore how Siebert paved the way for other women in finance, and the impact she has had on the industry as a whole. They also examine the ongoing gender disparities in finance, and what can be done to address them and create a more equitable future.
