Morgan Stanley and WeAreTheCity - Women in Operations Event
THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED!  Morgan Stanley & WeAreTheCity would like to invite you to an International Women’s Day celebration on the 11 of March at 18.00.

“Women in Operations – Making it happen” is being hosted by Morgan Stanley at its Canary Wharf offices at 20 Bank Street, London, E14 4AD.

Please note this event is aimed at females working in Operations in Financial Services.

This is the first event Morgan Stanley have hosted for female Operations professionals with a view to supporting female talent and providing an opportunity to network and discuss experiences. Creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive work environment is a business imperative for the firm, which supports one of Morgan Stanley’s core values of ‘Doing the Right Thing’.

The evening will consist of a fantastic learning opportunity with Natalie Reynolds who will be talking about the art of negotiation through her keynote “Is negotiation a man’s game?”.

During this session Natalie explores why our gender can potentially influence outcomes at the negotiation table. We will also discover why negotiation matters both in and out of the workplace and uncover the general mistakes made by negotiators. We will also break down those common myths about women as negotiators and deliver practical tips to enable us to plan our negotiations effectively and achieve the results we want.

Natalie will be followed by Julie Carruthers, Head of Operations, Global Broking Division, at ICAP who will share her own career story and top tips for “Making it happen” as a senior female leader in Operations.
