Bev Shah is passionate about empowering the investment and asset management sector to forge a more equitable and inclusive culture. As a British-Indian, dyslexic woman (mother of two) with more than 15 years’ experience in the City at some of the world’s largest financial institutions, she founded City Hive to be the change she wanted to see in the world.
City Hive is a Network for Change, and she deeply believes in the power of diverse thought and experience in rebuilding trust in financial services and enhancing investment performance.
Bev says: “The investment and asset management industry is going through huge change, and part of that change must be to attract and retain people with a cross-section of views and backgrounds. Without this diversity of thought, how can we avoid herd behavior and see investment opportunities that others might miss?”
