AFSA is proud to celebrate the crucial role female executives play throughout the financial services industry. From small companies to large, installment loans to vehicle finance products, female leaders are building the future of our industry. During Women’s History Month, AFSA will be featuring just a small selection of some of the outstanding female leaders in our industry.

We asked Rochelle what advice she’d give to her younger self, knowing what she knows now.
Get comfortable speaking in front of a crowd. This is a skill that can be developed, but you have to invest the time and energy into overcoming this fear.
