The leaders of corporate boards, global stock exchanges and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission offered a bold vision of the future where equality in the boardroom translated into equality in the frontoffice and the management ranks.
"People have to have relationships -- not just from doing well in the frontoffice but to asset management and private wealth management in particular, " says Hollands.
My job application for any frontoffice accountability is eight pages of mostly essay-type questions (if it's for a management or business development accountability, there are another six to ten pages of those), and my interviews get even more up close and personal.
