Working mum from Cork finds balance on Wall Street

She’s one of the most powerful women on Wall Street, managing director of a multi-strategy hedge fund, and on her way to a “really important” early morning business briefing.

As the executive takes her seat at the boardroom table, a colleague bends over and asks if she’s “been through the wars”.

“Yep,” she smiles gracefully. Little did he know, she thought, that she’d been awake all night with a sick child, the same child that she’d just rushed to the doctor before racing to this appointment.
