Throughout her career Rhiannon has gained experience across investment banking (Goldman Sachs UK), retail banking (NAB), wealth management (MLC) and not-for-profit super funds (VicSuper). She has seen financial services from a variety of perspectives from the back office, to the front line and management.
While Rhiannon had been working in financial services since 1999 and was a practicing financial planner between 2002-2019, it was the return to study in 2011 that started her thinking about how financial services could and should be different. By 2015 she was ready to do something about and her vision for Finance Women to empower women through financial education and coaching.
Outside of work Rhiannon is a keen, though largely inattentive gardener, she loves to cook, paint. Crime fiction and period drama on the page or the screen are a welcome indulgence and lately she’s been loving a wide range of podcasts from economics, mystery, history, politics and comedy. Home life is understandably controlled chaos as the mother of one boy and two girls. When not transporting children to sporting events or battling bedrooms to be tidied they love sitting down to board game. Recently Rhiannon has taken a strong interest in promoting sporting opportunities for women and girls. Much to her own surprise she has started a local women’s cricket team. Catering for women who had never played cricket before. They are having a riot of a time, though they still don’t know their silly mid-offs from their rather fine legs.
