  • 22: Ex-Trading Executive's Bold Career Pivot to Help Scale Fintechs
    Jan 1 2025

    Have you ever felt stuck in your career? In this episode of Shameless Careers, I sit down with Kenzy Goodwin to explore her bold journey of leaving a stable corporate career to pursue a path that she was more passionate about.


    Specifically, Kenzy was a senior equity trader at a large international asset management firm where she spent almost 20 years, and then she pivoted to become a Managing Partner at Finceler8 where she helps fintech firms increase their revenues and expand their businesses.


    From battling doubts to trusting her instincts, Kenzy shares her experience of leaving a big name, lessons about the transferability of her skills and insights into the impact of technology (such as AI) on people's careers.


    This story is packed with motivation and real-life insights for anyone considering a career change. Join us and get inspired to take the leap towards a career you love!
