She began her two-decade career in Wall Street and has since worked in London, Singapore and now Hong Kong. In 2017 Shirley founded and became CEO of Career Catalyst Group (CCG).
Her financial leadership roles include COO and global Chief of Staff for Tier 1 investment banks like JP Morgan and Citigroup. Shirley has a monthly programme on RTHK Radio 3 and regularly speaks on D&I focussed event panels.
