We’re proud to share that our Founder and Head of Corporate Finance, Soria Hay, was recently invited to join the panel at the annual prestigious DealMakers Women’s Day Brunch, alongside leading women in M&A, private equity, and financial markets. The panel included Jo Mitchell-Marais (Deloitte Southern Africa), Amalia Lui (Clyde & Co Tanzania), Titi Sekhukhune ( Infinite Partners) and Shireen Motara (entrepreneur and social impact leader).
The event brought together powerful voices for an honest, insightful conversation about leadership, legacy, and what it means to build a meaningful career, not just a successful one.
Soria’s words were profound and deeply grounded in experience. She offered more than stories. She shared real tools, lessons, and truths that resonated with the next generation of female leaders navigating identity, ambition, and balance.
Some key takeouts from the discussion included:
-
-
- Redefining success on your own terms, beyond titles or wealth
-
- Building supportive ecosystems and learning to distinguish between glass and rubber balls to drop
- Shifting the narrative from “women in leadership” to humans in business, navigating burnout, balance and belonging
-
Soria reminded us why Bravura leads not only with bold thinking, but with intention.
