Josina Kamerling

Shaped By

In this episode, we are joined by Josina Kamerling. Originally wanting to be a barrister, Josina studied Law and Modern Languages at Murray Edwards College, New Hall, in the 1980s. However, she realised that the law wasn't for her and went on to have an incredibly varied career, disrupting any kind of traditional career path. From beginning in investment banking, she went into fashion journalism, then back into banking where she stayed for 10 years, becoming a director at ING, before leaving again for a role at the European Parliament. All of this came before landing her current position as the Head of Regulatory Outreach for the CFA Institute, which she says is the sum of all her experiences and her dream role. Josina challenges any preconceived ideas about what the trajectory of a career should look like.
