About the Finance Leaders Fellowship
The Finance Leaders Fellowship (FLF) launched in 2016 as a two-year action-oriented fellowship that inspires high-performing leaders across the Finance ecosystem to work toward solving the most complex challenges the industry faces. Each year, FLF supports classes of 22 leaders to engage in a thought-provoking experience of personal exploration – to move beyond success to a place of having an impact. Beyond the opportunity for deep introspection, the leadership impact venture process propels Fellows to turn thought into action. We require each Fellow to develop and launch a venture as an extension of their fellowship journey. Fellows identify whitespace areas of opportunity where they can use their leadership in the finance industry to apply market-based solutions to effect positive societal impact on industry challenges.
