About this listen

 Today, during Black History Month, the Strategic Wins Podcast ™ presents Mr. Melvin F. Williams, Jr., an extraordinarily accomplished individual, principled leader, and C-Suite Executive in the financial services industry.

Melvin is currently the Chief Legal Officer at the Chicago Trading Company, a leading proprietary trading firm and market maker providing liquidity in all major exchanges.

Melvin is also a two-time Presidential appointee by (two-term) President Barack Obama.

Over the course of his brilliant career, Melvin has also served as:
  • General Counsel for the U.S. Small Business Administration;
  • General Counsel and Corporate Secretary for the Millenium Challenge Corporation; and
  • Director and Counsel at Citi, one of the largest consumer banks in the world.
Like me, Melvin started his legal career as a Judicial Law Clerk for a United States District Court Judge.

Melvin has a tremendous amount of widsom to share with aspiring and current professionals, including lawyers, entrepreneurs, and C-Suite executives. Below are five nuggets of wisdom he shared during his dynamic interview with the Strategic Wins Podcast ™.

Remember:
  1. Everyone is deserving of your kindness;
  2. Speak up on behalf of others who want and are prepared for opportunity, especially when you are the only "one" in the room;
  3. Choose a job that values you, is worthy of your time, and makes you better;
  4. You do not need to check all boxes when applying for opportunities. Take a chance on yourself (!);
  5. Do not discount your power!
Many thanks to Melvin for his outstanding contribution to the Strategic Wins Podcast™ and for being a shining example of leadership and success in the legal profession and financial services industry.

You can listen to his inspiring and thought-provoking podcast interview here on Spreaker, Apple Podcasts, Spodify, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

Happy Black History 365!!
