I am an avid reader, and as a financial professional, I couldn't find a single book that covers stories of women Chief Financial Officers (CFO)! As the world was stuck in the pandemic in 2020, I had a lot of free time during weekends, and that is when I thought about telling the stories of some of the incredible women across the globe who have made it to the top in the finance world. I have loved the process of writing this book. I feel a sense of obligation to the women who have entrusted me with their stories. I hope these stories will inspire many women finance professionals to break the glass ceiling and aim to become CFOs one day!!
While each person's circumstances are different, and their story won't be the same as anyone else’s, I hope by reading this book, every woman can understand that Ambition, Humility, Profession, and Prosperous family life can all co-exist!! This book's net proceeds will be donated to non-profit organizations in India working towards women education and empowerment.

This book covers the life story of 11 global women leaders in finance. The best part about the book is that the incidents are very relatable. The book inspires you to dream big - if these 11 leaders can, then anyone can! I havent come across any other book which gets this message across with such simplicity. Must read for all young women professionals, not just in finance.
