"Reflecting on her first days at NatWest as a graduate in 1992, Alison remembers thinking that 'the building looked quite intimidating.' Once inside, this didn't change - it 'felt like the first day of school.' She describes banking as being surrounded by jargon, which only makes sense once you're on the job, emphasizing that gaining understanding requires practical experience. This insight highlights how intimidating the professional world can appear to newcomers, especially in complex fields like finance."
"In this episode, Alison discusses her work widening access to entrepreneurship for women in business and explains how she contributed to NatWest's inclusivity for all customers during the Covid-19 pandemic. She emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for underrepresented groups and how her experiences shape her vision for a more inclusive economy. This reflects her commitment to not just leadership but also empowerment and the role of finance in societal change."
