Brooke Kelley of The Kelley Group Launches Effort in Support of Female Leaders of Financial Advisory Firms

LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On March 8, International Women's Day celebrates the achievements of women around the world, both past and present. The Kelley Group joins in to applaud the achievements of women leaders who work in the financial services industry. While Covid 19 and turbulent markets took its toll on the number of women in the labor force, women are re-emerging to fill a record 8% of chief executive roles and 16% of CFO positions at Wall Street's S&P Firms.¹

To support women leaders in the industry and those in their pursuit of leadership excellence, Brooke Kelley, cofounder of The Kelley Group, is organizing a collective group of Female Leaders of Financial Advisory Firms (FLFAF). Members of this think-tank will share experiences, lend support and guidance to help increase participation of women who aspire to higher positions in the industry.

According to Brooke, "While we applaud the firms that have recognized the talents and capabilities of female leaders, it's important that we come together in support of each other. There are so many women in our industry who would benefit from knowing the other great female leaders in our industry who, like them, are charged with leading financial advisors."

She explains, "It's a ground-up initiative. Today, approximately 46% of employees in the finance sector are women; however, only 15% occupy executive roles.  We believe that women in management positions and are part of field leadership are in a unique position to benefit other women seeking careers or wanting to advance their careers in the financial industry. Their participation can help pave the way for the next generation of female leaders."
