Interview with Maria Lombardo, who taught me being brave is halfway to success

Off balance

During the Off Balance webinar, my second guest was Maria Lombardo, an inspirational young woman. Her resilience has always amazed me and her parenting techniques are an example for all.

Maria Lombardo has consolidated her experience in building and managing teams through major transitions in the financial and investment industry. She specialises in Sustainable and ESG investing, in particular, Climate Change and Transition Strategy and Reporting, ESG Strategic and Product Development, and ESG Client Solutions.

My relationship with Maria started on a busy trading floor and it became a friendship, hopefully one that lasts forever. She taught all of us how important it is to listen to your inner voice in every situation. Being brave and strong should be part of your image, as she said; and, even if you do not know what to do, you should look at a task with determination, the sky is your limit.

Focusing on diversity and women, Maria told us how important data are, and that we should all research how women in business are considered, as it has evolved a lot, but it is not where it should be. Starting from the percentage of women on boards, to women in business, we can see many limitations, but all these measures can lead to improvements – it all depends on the point of view.
