About this episode

Managing Director and founder of Moxie Future, Jessica Robinson takes us on a trip that spans from London, to New York, Beijing, Honk Kong, all the way to Dubai, sharing all the challenges and victories she's faced all along the way.  Jessica has worked in consulting, where she had to assimilate into the industry's boy's club to climb up the ladder. She then moved to Beijing where she changed her career due to an identity crisis after becoming a mother and finding herself without a job. Jessica ended up gravitating towards responsible investment, creating a platform that will engage and empower women to think about their investment and financial decisions.
