This week on the LD Aviation Podcast, we are joined by Shelley Svoren, a passionate advocate for women’s leadership in aviation, board member of the International Aviation Women’s Association (IAWA), and Founder and CEO of Infinite Branches. Shelley brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective as a public speaker, entrepreneur, and strong proponent of gender equality in traditionally male-dominated industries.
Shelley’s career journey is nothing short of inspiring. Transitioning from a successful career in finance and banking, she discovered her true passion in aviation finance. It was here that Shelley recognized the transformative power of empowering women in the industry. Her belief is simple yet profound: when women are empowered, they, in turn, uplift those around them.
In this episode, Shelley shares her insights on the importance of curiosity in driving success and innovation, especially for women in leadership roles. She discusses the challenges and opportunities that women face in aviation and other industries and highlights the critical role of mentorship and networking in fostering women’s professional growth.
Listeners will gain valuable perspectives from Shelley on how to navigate and thrive in male-dominated fields, the importance of continuous learning, and the impact of strong support networks. Shelley’s commitment to creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in aviation is evident throughout our conversation.
