As Women’s World Banking concludes its year-long 45th anniversary celebration, President & CEO Mary Ellen Iskenderian reflects on how far the organization has come—from a small group of visionaries with a big idea to a global force helping millions of women access financial tools and services. In this video, Mary Ellen visits the archives at Princeton University’s Mudd Library with founder Michaela Walsh, sharing what it means to carry that mission forward today.

She also talks about her own journey and how Women’s World Banking has grown and changed under her leadership.
