Financial Times: Sayli Chitre Named An FT & HERoes Champion Of Women In Business 2018

Sayli Chitre, from Oliver Wyman’s London office, has been named one of the 50 FT & HERoes Champions of Women in Business.

The second annual ranking of female and male executives celebrates those who have made a substantial difference to women’s careers.

Sayli, who works in our practices of finance and risk and public policy, co-led our EMPOWERED diversity network for two years, which focuses on ethnic minorities and their allies. She liaises with universities as part of our recruitment efforts, and advises the firm on how to attract a diverse range of candidates.

On winning the award, Sayli said, “In initial meetings, others sometimes assume that I am the most junior person in the room – even when I am the team manager. Being taken seriously is a constant battle faced by many women, my advice is to never give up and seek support from your team when you need to be empowered.”
