Women in Fund Finance (WFF) hosted its inaugural Wit and Wisdom Event in Charlotte earlier this week. The Wit and Wisdom events are designed to bring together young professionals with senior women for discussions on a range of topics in the fund finance industry, ranging from office politics to avoiding feeling stuck and anything in-between.

The event, which was targeted toward junior to mid-level women in the industry, was held at Haynes and Boone’s new Charlotte office space, and provided those in attendance with an intimate atmosphere that encouraged relatable questions and candid conversations with the panelists.

The discussion was moderated by Erin Goldstein (Wells Fargo) and included panelists Jill Dinerman (Barings), Karrie Jerry (Axxes Capital), Caroline Dallas (Global Endowment) and Christine Carter (Mayer Brown). The unique background and experiences of each panelist offered insight into career changes, how to take on different roles within the workplace and when to step up as a leader. Each highlighted the importance of staying challenged and loving what you do.

Thank you to the event sponsors: Cadwalader, Haynes and Boone, Mayer Brown and Wells Fargo. We look forward to the next Wit and Wisdom Event with WFF.
