Senior Managing Director

The event was hosted by the White House Business Council and the U.S. Small Business Administration and featured a discussion on issues, challenges and opportunities pertaining to women in or thinking about investing careers.  In attendance were senior level women in the investment industry as well as policy leaders and senior administration officials.

“It was exciting to take part in such an important discussion. The number of women in the investment industry has grown dramatically during my working career, but further progress is still needed,” stated Ms. Galiette.  “It was gratifying to meet with other women in senior leadership positions within the industry.  In my role as a member of the Executive Board of the Small Business Investor Alliance, a private equity trade association, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that public and private sector programs have already had on women in small business.  Public dialogue at the highest levels increases awareness of programs and opportunities for women in investment careers and can foster more diversity in the industry.”

The goal of the Women in Investing Roundtable is to inform potential policy actions and focus on opportunities within federal government programs, as well as other initiatives and programs designed to support women in business.
