Former Wall Street executive Maureen Sherry – once the youngest managing director at Bear Stearns – is now working on a film adaptation of her book 'Opening Belle', a fictional tale of life as a woman in finance that was published in February.

She talks to FN about why she called time on her career, what has changed in the years since and why the need for strong female representation at the top of banking is greater than ever.
