"There is no glass ceiling, except for the one you set yourself," said Judy Hsu at the Investing In Her forum held on March 4 at The St Regis Singapore. As she is the CEO for Consumer, Private and Business Banking at Standard Chartered Private Bank, we are inclined to believe in her commitment to women's empowerment in the economic sector.
The day's events kicked off with an opening address from Onnah Liew, market head of Singapore and Indo-China at Standard Chartered Private Bank, who highlighted the bank's various initiatives to champion diversity and inclusivity.
An intimate fireside discussion with Hsu followed, during which she touched on leadership perspectives as well as the trials and triumphs that mark her career. "Despite encountering challenges in the early years of my career, my genuine delight in my work fuelled my focus, creativity and passion.
It enabled me to overcome obstacles along the way," she said. "If we want to see real change, we need to 'invest in her'... providing not just financial solutions, but also access to training, networks and mentors," Hsu added, underscoring the bank's women-focused initiative, the Standard Chartered Women's International Network. "Financial institutions can play a pivotal role in empowering female entrepreneurs, and in my role, I have the power to do something."
