For women working in the financial industry, it can be hard to distinguish your path. It’s often a challenge to stand out, especially when you’re one of only a few women in what seems like a world of men…

But it doesn’t have to be like that anymore–

In this episode, Adri sits down with Arielle Bittoni CFA, CFP® to talk about Arielle’s past, present, and a sneak peek at the future of her life in the financial industry. We talk about how 

Arielle’s love of numbers grew while studying at Berkeley, her past work in institutional trading and the sales industry, as well as her transition from the role of sales into a financial advisor with a company Arielle didn't fit into that gave her the push to go independent and co-manage her own company - Refresh Investments. 

Adri and Arielle discuss: 

1. Arielle’s motivation in the financial industry to push her to the path of success she is on today 
2. Her experience as a woman in a male-dominated industry 
3. Why Arielle reached out to Adri for coaching and how the program enlightened Arielle on her path 
4. The blend between numbers, analytics, and relationships as a financial advisor 
5. How Arielle’s client focus shifted towards women and families 
6. And more
