The Finn Dixon & Herling Women’s Initiative Network
WIN maintains a balance between professional and social activities.
The group conducts regular meetings open to all women at the firm, where participants have engaged in goal-setting and other professional development exercises. WIN also hosts events that have ranged from our networking-oriented women’s golf clinic to a 16-course omakase dinner.
Our place in private equity and venture capital—industries in which women have historically lacked representation—makes it still more imperative, and more valuable, for FDH to provide a resource like WIN. We regularly invite female clients and professional contacts to our events, providing a welcome sense of community for all.
The benefits of WIN are not exclusive to the women of Finn Dixon & Herling.
Repeatedly, initiatives begun inside the group have benefitted the entire firm. Discussions that started at WIN gatherings have led to a revisitation of the firm’s parental leave policy, pre-Covid consideration of flexible working arrangements, and an increase in firm events geared toward parents, caregivers, and families.
