Podcasts explore personal stories of two
successful business women
HSBC Private Bank hosted its fourth Women’s Forum in the UK,
recognizing the achievements of women in business, considering the
challenges they face and championing their continued progress. The
focus was on helping women accomplish their professional and
personal ambitions, as well as inspiring and engaging the next
generation of successful women.
“Starting with the inspirational stories of our speakers, we
look forward to stimulating conversation and debate with our
clients. Today is an opportunity for our clients to connect with
like-minded individuals, to consider how they can have a positive
impact in their industries and to inspire the next generation of
women,” said Helen Westbrook, Head of Marketing, Europe and Middle
East at HSBC Private Bank.
To coincide with this event, HSBC Private Bank released two
podcasts featuring guest speakers Mariéme Jamme, CEO, Spotone
Global Solutions and Kirsty Bashforth, Kier Group plc non-executive
director.
Mariéme grew up in an orphanage in Senegal and didn't attend
school until she was 16. When asked how she overcame the
significant challenges of her childhood to become the successful
business women she is today, Mariéme said that "tenacity" got her
through. "Knowing where I came from, and knowing that I didn't have
any support, that gave me the power to really 'go for it'." Click

Kirsty recalls what it took to achieve success as a woman in her
24 years at BP, including the vital role of mentors and sponsors.
"More importantly is sponsorship. Those people who will stand-up
for you when you're not in the room and advocate for you," Kirsty
recounts. Click here to listen.
HSBC Private Bank launched the Women’s Forum in 2013 and hosts
forums across its operations. Most recently, the bank hosted a
Women’s Forum in Singapore, attended by influential women who are
involved in managing their family business as well as the “business
of the family.”
