I love Paris in the springtime... handy then to have a Paris office and to go a few times per year. Best of all though was Thursday's party for true AF Clare Nicholls, founder of Vintage Academe, purveyors of Seriously High-End Vintage

Citywealth Women in Wealth

AF went to a drinks party that seemed far too much fun and very glamorous for a Monday night! And yet we got some serious networking done... We attended the launch party for the Citywealth Women in Wealth club, a club that aims to gather some of the most senior women in the wealth management industry together.

Real Girl Power: the 30th Anniversary Awards for Achievement Lunch

Have just enjoyed the best Friday lunch I can recall in a long time - the Women in Banking and Finance 30th Anniversary Awards for Achievement Lunch at the Dorchester Hotel in London. What a difference from most City and hedge fund industry awards; this one had an atmosphere that was collaborative and fun, and a lot of useful networking took place. I also talked with several women about Alpha Female and was really encouraged by the positive response, and the willingness of women who know the site to connect me up with other women who could help. I left feeling truly inspired. Thank you ladies!
