You have six math Ph.D. Caucasian gentlemen from the Northeast of the country, great. You put one more in the mix, you haven't added much. It's only when you add something different that you really are able to accomplish more.

I want to buy a house. I want to retire well. I want to have baby.

I prefer the word "engagement." Instead of empowerment, it's enabling women to engage in business.

I can tell you that my experience has been that the gentlemen are more likely to come and ask for the order, ask for the raise, ask for the promotion, and that the women are less likely to do so.

If a woman waits 10 years to invest, "I'm busy", "I've got to do this", "I can put it off", "I gotta find the right financial..." It costs her $100 a day. $100 a day! And if we had money falling out of her pocketbook at the rate of $100 a day, we'd change our pocketbook; we'd fix our pocketbook.

As we work together and pool our resources, there's room for everyone to be successful.

When I started on Wall Street, there was pretty good diversity in those junior ranks. And you know what? It hasn't made it to the top.
