Julie Becker on Breaking Barriers and Boosting Visibility for Women in Finance

In the latest episode of The Gender Finance Podcast, Julie Becker, CEO of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, joins host Jenny de Nijs, Chair of the Gender Finance Task Force, for an honest and insightful conversation about advancing gender equality in the financial sector.

Becker reflects on her personal leadership journey—from being sponsored early in her career to becoming the first woman to lead the Exchange in its near-100-year history. She discusses the importance of sponsorship over mentorship, the need to support women at different career stages, and how returnship and visibility are critical to helping more women advance into senior roles.

The episode also explores how inclusive leadership translates into stronger business performance—and why gender equality must be treated as a strategic business priority.
