Lighthouse: Women Leading the Way in Finance



I am pleased to announce that my second book, Lighthouse: Women Leading the Way in Finance, is published! It is currently available on Amazon as a paperback and eBook.






See below for book reviews:

"Lighthouse is a must-read for anyone looking for inspirational female role models in finance. Through a series of in-depth personal interviews, Maya reveals the real-life struggles and strategies of women who overcame obstacles to succeed in a male-dominated industry, on their own terms." — Rupal Bhansali, CIO of International and Global Equities, Ariel Investments, Author of Non-Consensus Investing


"Lighthouse is filled with women who bet on themselves and beat the odds to make successful careers. This book is a great way to learn from leaders in their field." — Annie Duke, Author of Bestselling Book, Thinking in Bets, and Former Professional Poker Player


"Lighthouse: Women Leading the Way in Finance is not just about the success of women leaders; it is also a collection of remarkable human-interest stories. In her writing, Peterson focused on the human and the women’s own lighthouses behind their success—the grandmother who inspired, the math teacher who brought to light a whole new world—and delivered a wonderful tale of human resilience and growth. We can all use a lighthouse in our lives. I have no doubt that Peterson and her book will be one of the bright ones." — Excerpt from Foreword by Dr. Chenxi Wang, Founder and General Partner at Rain Capital

Monsoon Pabrai Prevailing with Force

Lighthouses in Monsoon’s Words “My lighthouse would be knowing when I am not happy, finding my purpose. When you are not having fun, something is wrong. My family is my lighthouse. They helped me to realize I was not happy and try something else.” Monsoon Pabrai, is like her name: she prevails with force. She was born into the world of finance. Her father, fund manager Mohnish Pabrai, tried to encourage Monsoon and her sister to be as fascinated with investing as he is.

The Bank that Stood the Test of Time and Tides

On December 26th, 1993, Robert Gaughen took over Hingham Institution for Savings as CEO during a tumultuous time for the bank.

Asset quality is critical to the survival of a bank, and along with these improvements, Hingham began paying a dividend in 1994.  *Source: Hingham Institution for Savings’s 1994 Annual Report  Over the next 26 years, the company’s loan quality improved, its branch network expanded outside of Hingham, Massachusetts, and Book Value per Share grew 14 times.
