We are thrilled to announce Stephanie Braming, CFA, Partner, Global Head of William Blair Investment Management, has been named to Forbes fourth annual 50 Over 50 list. “I believe that my years of experience and non-linear career path give me a perspective that I didn’t have in my 20s or 30s. As a leader, I listen more and ask questions with a focus on empowering teams. However, sometimes experience suppresses innovation and leads to complacency. I guard against that by purposefully expanding my horizons in what I read, what I listen to, and seeking out different perspectives or areas of expertise,” says Stephanie. Congratulations, Stephanie! Your dedication, expertise, and leadership continue to make a meaningful impact. Learn more here. https://lnkd.in/gKM-9NTd #ForbesOver50 #WomenInFinance #Leadership #AssetManagement
