What went down at BMO’s BlueCarpet Premiere of Spotlight – Women in Asset Management
On October 11, more than 70 BMO Global Asset Management (GAM) employees joined Maclean’s and their colleagues at TIFF Bell Lightbox’s Luma to celebrate diversity, equity and inclusion with a launch party and VIP screening of BMO’s Fall 2023 Spotlight – Women in Asset Management video campaign.
Guests were also among the first to preview the 2024 Maclean’s University Guide – a sought-after resource for tomorrow’s talent.
Upon arrival, guests hit the walk of fame and struck a pose on the blue carpet before grabbing mini tubs of popcorn and sitting down to watch Spotlight – Women in Asset Management—a series of short vignettes profiling the women of BMO GAM, their career learnings and investment wisdom.
The audience was treated to the ‘director’s cut’ of the film, which included bloopers—“I like noodles,” confessed Stephanie Ng, Inside Sales Wholesaler, Mutual Fund in one outtake—and trivia about the women of BMO GAM—did you know that BMO ETFs VP of Online Distribution Erin Allen’s first job was Santa’s elf at the mall?
