LinkedIn Influencer Carla Harris has been called one of the most powerful women and Black executives on Wall Street and in corporate America. She began her finance career as an associate, and worked her way up the ranks at Morgan Stanley where she has spent the past three decades brokering deals, executing IPOs and creating an in-house innovation lab. Harris says, “I’m negatively motivated. And when you tell me I can’t do something, I’m all over it.” Senior News Editor Maya Pope-Chappell interviewed the vice chairman and managing director about why she decided to pursue finance, her early career on Wall Street and mistakes she made along the way. What are your best sources of motivation? What pushes you to excel on the job or in school? Tell us in the comments! #HowIGotHere #LinkedInVideo #LinkedInFinance #wallstreet

She’s the best! She came to our firm and gave us the most empowering talk. I read her book, it’s one of my favorite books.
I saw Carla Harris speak at a conference last year and I was blown away by her. She is a dynamic speaker with a great message and story to share. If you ever get the opportunity to see her speak or read her books I urge you to do so.
