Amy Wu Silverman, our Head of Derivatives Strategy, joined Business Insider to talk about her day-to-day life balancing work, family and community on her recent return from maternity leave. From her early rise with her children, to the mid-day energy of the trading floor, to a family celebration after markets close, Amy shows us how she structures her day as executive, mother, wife, charitable board member, and much more.
Amy Wu documented her routine during a landmark day at RBC, Trade for the Kids, where we celebrated and donated to youth charities including Storefront School, where Amy is a board member. At any given time, Amy can be found following equity volatility, making press appearances, traveling the globe to visit clients, or handling her quantitative responsibilities such as designing a trade or analyzing a backtest.
“Today our offices are decorated in gold and blue to celebrate our global RBC Trade for the Kids day where we donate more than $3 million globally to 40 major youth-focused charity partners, including mine, through events across four continents and 23 cities. People ask how I can concentrate on the trading floor but after 15 years I couldn't imagine it any other way!” – Amy Wu Silverman
