JC Davies

Remember JC Davies? She’s the woman who spent nearly a decade as an equity research analyst, first at ING Barings, then Goldman Sachs and finally RIM Securities, and then decided to write a book called Jungle Fever.

Unfortunately, all of the above is nothing but fuel for Wall Street troglodytes looking for another example of why women shouldn’t be taken seriously. [Bloomberg, previously, photo via Davies' blog]

I said I’d be requesting an interview but before I could, this arrived: Continue reading »
