Now she helps run the Houssian family's investment firm B.C.’S MOST INFLUENTIALmoney WOMEN on the To mark our fifth annual tribute to female leaders making a difference, we celebrate women in finance or Kai Li, a finance professor atUBC Sauder School of Business, it’s become a familiar sight. In a typical year, about 50 percent of the school’s commerce undergraduates are female. But as third- year specialization approaches, relatively few women choose finance. Li, who teaches a course that readies students for Fthe investment banking industry, thinks there’s both a supply and a demand problem. “People who I invite as guest speakers, there are very few female role models, unfortunately,” she says. At the same time, investment banking’s long hours may not appeal to women seeking work-life balance. Despite such challenges, this province is home to a remarkable group of women working in financial roles. For our fifth annual B.C.’s Most Influential Women fea- ture, we again sought the advice of an expert panel (see p.47)—three of whose five members are women mak- ing their mark in finance—to identify names worthy of recognition. We defined finance broadly, to encompass every- one from CFOs and entrepreneurs to bank executives and money managers. As usual, our list is representa- tive, not exhaustive or definitive.

Citigroup’s near-collapse turned out be a blessing for Gautam, who gained respon- sibilities when the firm cut most of its mid- level investment bankers. Today at JH, she heads the private investment and venture capital portfolio of Joey Houssian, son of Intrawest Corp. founder Joe Houssian. Gautam’s other current gig is overseeing the wind-down of venture capital fund Campfire Capital, where she’s a partner with John Currie and Christine Day, former CFO and CEO, respectively, of Lululemon Athletica. The Toronto native moved to Vancouver in 2014 to launch Campfire and lead its US$32-million raise.
