How To Handle Returning From Mat Leave ...with City Trailblazer Sam Smith
Welcome to the second episode of Show Me The Way. This episode Naomi speaks to Sam Smith who is the chief executive of FinnCap - a City broker that she founded in 2007. She was running a team at a larger broker and saw potential to create her own thing so with her staff they raised £1m to buy out the division and set up afresh. Just as she did it Northern Rock collapsed and the financial crisis hit but she saw her opportunity and ploughed on. FinnCap is now one of the City’s most successful broking firms and Sam is the youngest and only female CEO of a City broker. Sam has a young daughter and she talks really honestly about how she came back to work too soon following maternity leave and how she’s used that experience to make things better for other returners. FinnCap is on the hunt for the UK's most dynamic female-led businesses so if that's you then check out the event coming up. It's part of Ambition Nation’s trailblazing Female Leaders Series and will support their growth and present funding options, through insights from both investors and CEOs who have been on that same journey themselves. And it's hosted by the fabulous Sandi Toksvig. It's FREE and you can sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ambition-nation-female-leaders-series-mind-the-gap-tickets-46358765315
