Company: deVere & Partners Switzerland SA Name: Sara Hussain Email: sara.hussain@devere-switzerland.ch Web Address: https://www.devere-switzerland.ch/ Most Influential Finance Businesswoman of the Year 2023 (Switzerland): Sara Hussain ince joining deVere & Partners Switzerland as a trainee wealth advisor in 2017, Sara Hussain has gone from strength to strength in the industry. Over the years, she has become fully aware of what the industry needs and can deliver as well as becoming fully qualified to give financial advice in Switzerland. This grounding in finance is what allowed her to make the transition to wealth consultant, and build her current portfolio of success. As one of the firm’s wealth managers, Sara specialises in using financial planning tools to cater to my clients’ personal financial security. This can be anything from cross border financial planning, retirement and family planning, investment and bespoke financial solutions. Since entering into this field, Sara has seen a clear need for more females to find total financial independence regardless of marital status, position at work or income. Many, who could achieve this with ease, simply are not aware how. Learning from early on is the easiest way to ensure success. Sara’s move into wealth management came about because she wanted to be in finance, but also wanted a more client-facing role in order to have the maximum possible impact on clients, and their success. “My role as a wealth consultant means that I can meet different people every day,” Sara explains. “Being able to understand what their personal goals and objectives are puts me in a position to be able to find tailored solutions to their personal needs. It goes without saying that I have met different clients from different backgrounds with different aspirations, but my proudest moments are when I not only focus on creating wealth for my clients, but also focusing on wealth preservation and inter-generational planning.” Making a difference in this sector, particularly as a woman, is no easy task. Sara has broken in at around the same time as the industry shifts to allow more women to make names for themselves. She is at the forefront of a tidal wave of change that will see things change for the better. “I personally don’t think it was ever “harder” for females to break into the finance industry as the qualifications needed are the same regardless of gender,” Sara says. “The intensity of the industry is perhaps one of the factors that made females a bit more reluctant to pursue a career in finance.” Now, as more traditional expectations have shifted, more women are entering the workforce. The team at deVere & Partners Switzerland has welcomed this change with open arms, creating an environment S Apr23384 Providing impartial financial advice is no easy task, but it’s one where the team at deVere & Partners Switzerland SA excel.
