Pathway to Success: Women in Compliance Careers

Dane Pedro, Head of Compliance & MLRO, Mollie (Part 4 of 4)

Confidence, Mentoring, and Redefining Success

In Part 4 of 4, the Pathway to Success conversation with Dane Pedro, Head of Compliance & MLRO, Mollie, concludes with a discussion on mentoring, confidence, and how success evolves across a Compliance career.

Drawing on her mentoring work with Women in Banking & Finance, Dane reflects on the confidence gap she frequently sees in Financial Services — particularly when professionals consider changing roles, sectors, or stepping into leadership positions.

The discussion explores:

  • Confidence and imposter syndrome in Financial Services careers
  • The impact of workplace culture on progression
  • Negotiating compensation and recognising professional value
  • Interview preparation, resilience, and handling rejection
  • Redefining success through purpose, impact, and continuous learning

A fitting conclusion to a series focused on resilience, growth, and long-term careers in governance.
