"I've lived all around the world. I see that I don't have to make choices between where I want to be, the
network I want to have, the clients I want to serve. So having a global perspective and what I describe as my
glorious, messy international life, many others also have a gloriously messy international life."
This week Cynthia is joined by Aoifinn Devitt, a senior member of Moneta’s Global Wealth team and a longtime voice in international finance. Aoifinn shares her journey across continents, industries, and life stages, from bold early adventures to major career pivots. It’s a conversation full of honesty, humor, and hard won wisdom.
This episode is for any woman who has ever wondered if she’s capable of more than she’s been told. Aoifinn offers a fresh perspective on risk, leadership, and staying true to yourself through every season of life. Listeners will walk away with the confidence to trust their own path forward.
