Penny Lee is one of very few people with a front row seat to a presidential election campaign, the Clintons’ humble intelligence, and the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008.
Her journey spans both sides of the public and private sector equation – having extracted herself from politics, she’s now President and CEO of the Financial Technology Association in the U.S.
Join us on Pivot Points and go behind the scenes of American politics as we discover the most powerful word in leadership, the culture shock between public and private sector life, and the invaluable advice she gives to fellow female leaders.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- The importance of having conviction and making tough decisions with compassion

- Navigating shifts between public and private sectors, from political campaigns to corporate roles
- Funding disparities for female Founders, and how we can take steps towards fairer funding
- Stay true to your beliefs, learn from mentors, and be graceful and empathetic while pursuing goals
