Role models play an important role in career development. Role models inspire, challenge, motivate and teach us to uncover our true potential and to overcome our barriers.

FWA’s Kopitiam Chat with Female Role Models in Finance features three female role models from Standard Chartered Bank, sharing their view on career progression, learning points and personal stories.  The format of this event will be lively, personal and educational. The Kopitiam Chat series is part of our flagship FWA Male Champions series where our male champions moderate a panel of women from their organisations.

We hope you will join us in what will be an impactful and exclusive engagement series with excellent networking and learning opportunities.
