How Anna is building a better working world

“It’s easy to forget how important financial services is to the wider economy and to people’s lives. Every single engagement is about helping clients successfully navigate through this almost constant age of transformation. I am helping to build a better working world by doing that well and when I succeed, the industry can do what it does best – creating sustainable growth, prosperity and peace of mind for the hundreds of millions of people who rely upon it.

“Financial services underpins society and should be seen as a force for good that can create long-term value. We must all play our part in creating a stronger, fairer and more sustainable financial services industry.”
