Jamie Fiore Higgins

Jamie Fiore Higgins (Jamie Ann Fiore) was born on April 11th, 1976 and is currently 50 years old. Jamie Fiore Higgins was born in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Fiore Higgins attended Bryn Mawr College.

Jamie Fiore Higgins is best known as an author, leadership coach, and former executive on Wall Street who made her name with her critiques of corporate culture.

For nearly twenty years, she was employed at Goldman Sachs, where she rose through the ranks to become a managing director. As managing director, she was the most powerful woman in her department, which was a feat achieved by less than 8% of employees in the organization.

As managing director, she was charged with supervising recruiting teams and processes, trainee programs, handling stock worth more than $100 billion, and managing major equity clients.

But while she was earning a lot of money, Jamie Fiore Higgins became frustrated with the toxic culture that included moral compromise, power imbalances, and sexism. She decided to chronicle her experiences in her memoir Bully Market.

In 2016, Higgins quit her job at Goldman Sachs and became a professional coach, as she used her experience to help corporate women navigate leadership challenges and career transitions.

She also works to develop leadership skills in teenagers and helps young adults at the dawn of their careers, people in midlife needing to reinvent themselves, and professionals who need some direction. The message to all these is that there is no money that can replace peace of mind.

Jamie Fiore Higgins has become one of the most prominent voices on equality and ethics in the corporate world. She openly speaks about the need for accountability in organizations, the illusion of progress in diversity programs, and how money could blind one to terrible working conditions.

She was named on the Top 25 Most Influential Women of 2022 by the Financial Times.

In 2022, Jamie Fiore Higgins published her memoir Bully Market, in which she examines the toxic work culture she experienced while working at Goldman Sachs.

Coming from a working-class family, she used that as fuel to reach the highest ranks in the corporate world despite the drugs, racism, sexism, and unchecked power in the organization.

Behind the polished image of Goldman Sachs, she had to face cruelty, exclusion, and harassment that most often went unpunished. She reveals how much abuse is present in the elite workplaces, usually hidden by the glossy image.

More than a memoir, Jamie advocates for fairness and reform in corporate culture, as she challenges the corruption and silence that usually result in inequity.
