Confident Leadership & Pearls of Wisdom: An Interview with Carla Harris

Carla Harris wowed us as opening keynote speaker at the 2015 CREW Network Convention & Marketplace in Seattle. Prior to her keynote, she sat down with CREW Network CEO Gail Ayers to discuss taking a seat at the table, having a strategic personal agenda, being your authentic best self, and more. As a vice chairman of global wealth management, managing director and senior client advisor at Morgan Stanley, Harris is responsible for increasing client connectivity and penetration to enhance revenue generation across the firm. She’s also an accomplished singer who has delighted audiences around the world with her soulful renditions of new and old gospel favorites. And she’s also an author and inspiring speaker. “Carla’s Pearls” – the valuable lessons she’s learned through her successes and failures – have become the centerpiece for her many speeches and television appearances. In her 2014 book, “Strategize to Win,” she offers career advice to help readers get started, get “unstuck” from bad situations, redirect momentum, and position themselves to manage their careers no matter the environment.
