When Sam Smith first entered the City at age 18 on the London Commodity Exchange she was one of only two women on a trading floor full of men, who would wolf whistle and had pictures of naked women on their cubicle walls. At 33, Sam became the first ever woman to run a stockbroking company, when she founded finnCap Group (now Cavendish). Her career in the City was defined by a drive to put inclusion and female entrepreneurship at the heart of the company's success.
