Bio
Livia Konkel
I had the pleasure of partnering with Faye at Thomson Reuters where she was focused on elevating female talent within the financial services industry. Faye was able to quickly deliver a program that provided meaningful data and research; a programmatic approach; -and- at the same time, a format that catered to highly individualized career aspirations. Faye is an eager collaborator. She's approachable; willing to share her ideas and learn from others, always in the spirit of the best outcomes. She's a true pleasure to work with.
