Rosemary Berkery discusses how a sudden, life-threatening illness changed her outlook on life and business.
She says the support of her colleagues made a meaningful difference in her attitude as she awaited a heart transplant.
Berkery, who retired from UBS earlier this year, gave the speech when she accepted
a lifetime achievement award at the annual gala for the Most Powerful Women in Banking and Finance.
Other speakers at the event included Cathy Bessant of Bank of America, Mary Mack of Wells Fargo, and Barbara Byrne of Barclays. Read more about it and watch video clips of the other speakers
