The Challenges of Returning to Work After a Career Break (And How This Remarkable Mum Overcome Them)

Today I'm delighted to chat with Maureen Kirwan, a Portfolio Manager at the Investment Management firm Henderson Rowe who had a five-year career break before returning to work in her current role. 

We’re talking about her experiences working in the male-dominated Financial Services sector and living as an ex-pat in Saudi Arabia.

Maureen shares her experiences about living in Saudi Arabia and the differences she experienced as a woman living there and in the UK. Maureen talks about trying to break back into Financial Services and Trading after her career break and what had changed in the industry while she was away.
