Good article, however, Portuguese people are not hispanic.

Enjoyed this one. Being 100% Italian myself and have dual citizenship American and Italian, it is nice to see that Italians are intelligent and successful individuals that have contributed to the US. I am so tired of these reality shows that demean the Italian culture and what we stand for! Cudos for Lucia and many other women who are professionals and intelligent individuals who are beautiful inside and out.

What a wonderful reminder that women “CAN” be successful just being who they are and that for those awesome men who embrace and invest in such relationships, the power and honor that goes to them for their beautiful partnership and for going against the “norm” to change our culture. Thank you so much for sharing this and for putting yourself “out there” to encourage others. Much more opportunities to you and all those you bring up with you…Signed: One of your new fan members.

Great article with solid options for women to break through this still often impenetrable glass ceiling. My hope is that even more senior men will lead by example to support women in navigating their careers, particularly in male dominated organizations. Still, I experience many senior men either unconscious about the relevance of gender influences in career mobility and/or just scared to support a woman out of concern about how other men might perceive the relationship. These perceptions can be sexually motivated and/or just not willing to make a work environment female friendly out of fear of being perceived as too “soft.” Hopefully, the male Generation X’ers and Y’ers will put more energy into what’s needed to create and sustain gender equity in the workplace.

Great article, she is right on with the relationship development aspect of her business. I previously worked at WF in a capacity where the relationships were everything….from beginning to end.

It’s very striking that Gibbons made it to the top at Wells Fargo, a retail bank, as opposed to an investment bank. I hear (second hand) that the culture at investment banks is still unfriendly in a lot of ways to women.

As a young professional woman it’s nice to hear another woman say out loud that she’s the bread winner in the marriage. This article has provided some one liners I can use when my peers give me the side eye when stated my SO does not work. His job is to support the family in ways that I cannot, and he’s happy with his postion. It’s a win-win contract, that works wonderfully.
