Yesterday, we had the privilege of spending an evening with Sarah Simon, an Oxford alumna and Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, where she leads the European Consumer Staples division. Sarah’s story was truly inspiring—from her time at Oxford studying Classics to her transition into finance and her remarkable 25-year career in the industry. With 13 years at Morgan Stanley and 12 years at Berenberg Bank, she shared invaluable insights into the skills and mindset needed to thrive in the field. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of the industry and the intricacies of equity research. A key takeaway from the discussion was that career paths are rarely linear—rather, they can be dynamic, unexpected, and full of exciting opportunities. We are extremely grateful for her time, and the knowledge shared. Stay tuned for more information on upcoming events!

On behalf of all our members, the OxWIF committee would like to say a huge thank you to our three wonderful panellists who spoke at our Women in Private Equity event last week: Caroline Woodworth (MD of General Atlantic)and Sara Johnsen (Analyst at Neuberger Berman). The enthusiasm that you expressed for PE, as well as hearing about your experience and time within the field really allowed those who attended to gather a better understanding on PE careers! 💙

Last week we had the pleasure of hosting Financial Edge for our first workshop of the term! The session was led by Maria Weber and focussed on explaining a few different valuation techniques as well as enterprise value, equity value and how to cross the bridge between them. The class wrapped up with some collaborative work on calculating multiples and a discussion of practical examples. We would like to thank Maria for her excellent contribution to OxWIF and making the event such a success. All of our members thoroughly enjoyed the session and learnt a lot from it.
