Drawing on over two decades of capital markets experience at institutions like BNY Mellon, Citibank, and KPMG, Mia shares the reality of building a global loan agency and trustee powerhouse from scratch.\nMia reflects on the passion and determination it took to launch GLAS in 2011 after being passed over for a bank promotion. She reveals what kept her going through 400 meetings in the City of London before securing her very first deal, how she navigated male-dominated boardrooms and how she built an international business with 500 employees.\nGuest: Mia Drennan\nHost: Katharine Spence\nGet in touch: behindthenarrative@h-advisors.global  \nA production by H/Advisors, the global strategic communications group: www.h-advisors.global \nSocial Links:\nwww.linkedin.com/company/h-advisors  \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@hadvisors ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/-OqvzaL3JUjvLWEbT6QQbR7viZbKtl1aQzUOrjedXG0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80MzM5/YjM0N2M4Y2FhNjBl/OWIxNmQ1NTJmMTNh/MTgzOS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
