WIPN April 2023 Member Spotlight

Director, Investment Solutions, T. Rowe Price
Clearly, I would like to see improvements for pay equity for women, not to mention increased gender diversity in company hiring practices, particularly in a still heavily male-dominated industry. I would also be excited to see more women taking the initiative and courage to build organizations that support and provide employment opportunities for women who have gone through certain life events - women returning to the workplace after an absence, due to illness, raising a family, divorce, lay off, etc. - and which have a dual focus on the financial needs of women, particularly given the growing concentration of wealth with women.


I found out about WIPN from a friend who is the current President of WIPN, Jen Mulrooney. Jen reached out to me to tell me that WIPN was changing its name and charter to be an inclusive space for all women (and for those WIPN members that don’t know me, I am a trans female and woman) and I decided to join.


? This is a good question. I think honestly WIPN was a huge influence in my ability to manage through my transition with ease and confidence, as it gave me strength to know there were safe spaces and support networks for a woman such as myself. Obviously, in a political environment where we have observed increased polarization of political views and anti-trans rhetoric recently, this matters. It also gave me a chance to reconnect with old friends (I reconnected with Daniella Moseyev through this organization and caught up with Jen again at a recent NJ WIPN event), and make new ones and connections along the way.

. As a perennial 'joiner,' I was sold on the opportunity to connect with fellow women professionals in the retirement space.


I’ve only been a member of WIPN for a year but I’ve already met a number of great women. At our summer networking event last year, I met a fellow member for the first time who turned out to be a friend of a friend. It’s a small world and I’m always appreciative when it gets a little smaller!


More. I hope to see more women in positions of power and more women leading conversations in the retirement industry.


No matter what part of the retirement industry a woman is in, seeing other women in roles that they aspire to is essential. You’ve got to see it to be it. My career path has been far from a straight line and it could certainly zig or zag a few more times. I hope that younger women see that as inspirational, and I hope that I’m both setting a good example for them and helping to create opportunities for them to come through the door behind me.
