Inside The Mentoring Round, CFO Chermaine Hu tells us how her early uncertainty about entering the investment banking world led her to seek roles that allowed for perpetual growth and self-improvement. Moving to New York and not getting a promotion taught her two critical lessons: the indispensability of building strong relationships within the organization and the importance of resilience in the face of setbacks. Observing various negotiation styles, especially in high-stakes environments like the oil and gas industry, Chermaine learned the importance of finding a negotiation style that aligns with one’s personality. She admired the effectiveness of a respectful and reasonable approach over aggressive tactics, shaping her own method of achieving results.
