In this episode of In Conversation With…, Clare Freeman, Head of Sixth Form at RMS, sits down with alumna Holly Herdman to explore her journey from school life to a successful career in investment banking at Evercore.
Holly reflects on her standout memories at RMS – from interactive physics experiments and playing a wide range of sports to transformative trips to Valencia and China – and explains how a supportive all-girls environment nurtured her confidence and leadership skills.
She shares how taking a broad range of A-level subjects paved the way for studying Economics at the University of Bath, completing a placement year in corporate finance, and ultimately joining Evercore’s Private Funds Group, where she helps raise multi-million and billion-pound funds.
Offering practical career advice, Holly encourages current pupils to say yes to every opportunity, step outside their comfort zones, and remember that true confidence is built through experience.
