Directions

Within a corporate campus, this site has plenty of free parking and is easily accessible from routes 287 and 24. It is 1.5 miles from the Morristown Train Station (Morris Essex Line of NJ Transit). A short Uber or taxi ride. 

Join FWA NJ as we meet author Jamie Fiore Higgins for a rare, riveting, insider’s account of the dark side of Wall Street where greed, coupled with misogyny and discrimination, enforced a culture of exclusion in the upper echelons of one of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Jamie’s book, Bully Market, sounds the alarm on the culture of finance and corporate America, while offering clear, actionable ideas for creating a fairer workplace. Both a revealing, extraordinary look at the industry and a top Wall Streeter’s explosive personal story, Bully Market is an essential account of one woman’s experience in a flawed system that speaks to the challenge and urgency for change.

Jamie Fiore Higgins, author, coach, former Managing Director at Goldman Sachs

Jamie Fiore Higgins began her finance career in 1998, shortly after graduating from Bryn Mawr College. After 18 years at Goldman Sachs, Jamie was the highest-ranking woman in her department, an active member of the Women’s Network Committee, and spent her workdays running the trainee programs, recruiting, and managing top equity clients and $96 billion in stock.

As she advanced on Wall Street though, Higgins says, she “quickly got caught up in the lavish world of money and excess, taking me further away from the career I had originally envisioned for myself.” When she finally found the courage to leave her job, she decided to write about her experiences, to spark discussion about gender and racial equality in the workplace, and create change. “As the #metoo movement unfolded before my eyes,” she says, “the seeds for Bully Market were planted.” Living in New Jersey with her husband and four children, she is a trained coach, working with teens to hone their leadership skills, high school and college graduates as they begin careers, professionals as they navigate the workforce, and those in midlife looking to reinvent themselves. Jamie was named one of the Financial Times “Top 25 Most Influential Women of 2022!”
