IWD Edition — Breaking through the bottleneck

Everybody knows that finance is a male-dominated industry, and there are plenty of initiatives to change that. But when you look at the numbers, it can be quite staggering to realize that, for example, just one in 10 senior portfolio managers in private credit is a woman.

For this week’s episode of Cloud 9fin, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day by examining how far the industry has come in terms of gender balance — and how far it still has to go.

Join our co-hosts Shubham Saharan and Sasha Padbidri as they speak with Erika Morris, head of US CLOs at Tikehau Capital, and Nadja Marcoz, a partner at Napier Park who heads up the firm’s institutional relationships.

And if you want to read more personal stories about women in credit, and some information on how various firms are trying to advance gender equality, check out the deep dive article on this issue that we published last year.
