Good morning. There isn’t an official roadmap to building one’s career. But Yanela Frias followed her passion for business, which has led to a 27-year career at Prudential Financial, Inc., founded in 1875, and her becoming the insurance giant's first female CFO.
Frias began her tenure as EVP and CFO of Prudential, a Fortune 100 company, in March, succeeding Ken Tanji. Stepping into this role has “incredible significance,” she told me. “From a role model perspective, for my two daughters, for all the women that I interact with, my goal is to show everyone that anything's possible,” Frias said. “There are no limits other than what you apply to yourself.”
