Maili Wong had just started her second day at Merrill Lynch in New York when her career changed forever. On that day — now known as 9/11 — Maili came out of a meeting at the World Financial Centre and witnessed firsthand the destruction of the World Trade Centre and the thousands of lives that were lost. Horrific as that was she worked in New York for five more years, saying the ordeal profoundly impacted her views on life and her work as an Investment Advisor.She explains how this horrific event transformed her and her perspective…
“Seeing through the chaos and crisis, I had to be strong and resilient. This experience translated into me helping clients move proactively — rather than panic and react — on life and financial decisions.”
