Lale Topcuoglu: Managing Director and Head of Credit at Swiss Re

Lale Topcuoglu is the Managing Director and Head of Credit at Swiss Re, a role she landed after climbing the ranks at Goldman Sachs and sharing financial expertise on Bloomberg. An introverted Turkish immigrant, star basketball player, and openly gay woman from a liberal arts background, Lale began her career in finance with an unconventional background. After 17 years at Goldman Sachs, Lale left her day job for a much-needed break, and she learned valuable lessons about the importance of mental health and rekindled her love for sports. When she returned to work, she was reminded once again of how impactful a strong network can be. In this episode, Topcuoglu opens up about her struggles with burnout, highlights how her love of sports acted as an “equalizer” in the workplace, shares how her definition of success has evolved, and reflects on the financial industry’s progression and shortcomings of creating a more inclusive space.
