In this episode of The Gender Finance Podcast, we speak with Micaela Forelli, CEO of M&G Investments Europe and Vice President of EFAMA, about how gender finance is moving from commitment to integration within asset management.
Micaela reflects on her path to CEO and the role mentors played in shaping her leadership approach. She also shares how M&G is advancing gender diversity through concrete organisational and investment actions, and why increasing the number of women portfolio managers remains a critical priority for the industry.
Drawing on her role at EFAMA, she provides insights into evolving leadership dynamics at European level, including the significance of its first all-female presidency. From initiatives such as the Invest in Women Code to the broader question of why “gender is not a theme”, the discussion highlights the importance of embedding gender considerations into mainstream investment and decision-making.
