Nina Godiwalla shares key themes and experiences from her upcoming book, Suits: A Woman on Wall Street, a memoir about her experience at Morgan Stanley best described as Liar’s Poker meets The Devil Wears Prada.
It’s an insider’s perspective on investment banking from an outsider’s point of view—woman, second-generation Indian American, and Texan. USA Today chose Suits as one of their top books to read. In addition to discussing her experience as a first-year analyst in investment banking, Nina will talk about women and minorities conforming to corporate cultures and her career path from corporate executive to author.
Cyndi Hughes, Executive Director of the Writers’ League of Texas, will be leading this conversation-style event with Austinite Nina Godiwalla. This event will be co-hosted by Network of Indian Professionals
