Greenwich Library – Breaking Barriers with Author Janet Hanson

We are pleased to welcome author Janet Hanson, in conversation with Charlotte Walker, to discuss Hanson’s new book Broad Street: My Mostly Bullish Career at Goldman Sachs. Janet, a prominent advocate for female empowerment, will share her story, insights, and experiences on overcoming challenges and achieving success.

Widely respected as a leading entrepreneur and investor, Janet is recognized as a unique voice and champion for women globally. Janet is the Founder and former CEO of 85 Broads Unlimited, a global network of women whose founding members worked at 85 Broad Street, Goldman Sachs’ former NYC headquarters, it was the first professional women’s network of its kind. The mission of 85 Broads was to connect women currently working at Goldman Sachs with the firm’s female “alumnae” to create a powerful crossroads of experience and intellect. Over the next decade and a half, 85 Broads expanded its membership to include over 30,000 trailblazing women who attended many of the leading colleges, universities, and graduate schools worldwide.In 2013, Janet stepped down as CEO of the network and in 2014, 85 Broads was rebranded as Ellevate. Ellevate’s new mission was to create a coalition of ambitious and supportive women who wanted to mobilize their collective power to effect positive and lasting change throughout the culture of business.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be inspired, connect with like-minded women, and gain valuable insights on navigating challenges and overcoming setbacks. Save the date for an evening of meaningful conversations and enlightment, and come prepared with questions that you may have on these important topics.

Engagement and active participation are welcomed!
