In this episode Alison and Jérome speak with Desiree Fixler, former group sustainability officer at DWS where she was responsible for driving the firm’s overall sustainability strategy.

In her role, she made a number of presentations to the CEO and members of the board. But the last one she made in February 2021 - where she highlighted the discrepancies between its ESG claims and its internal procedures, and called for greater transparency and accountability in ESG investing - brought her to be fired by the company.

In the episode you will hear about Desiree's time at DWS and her experience as a whistleblower, but also about the evolution of Wall Street culture over two decades, and being a woman in finance.
