For years and years (before everyone had a podcast), I had a very successful global podcast on 12 different channels, at one point, a top hit on iHeart Radio. I have interviewed more than 500 professional women from the US and some in the UK.
I have decided to start a new podcast. I want to interview women in public service.
LET ME KNOW (in an email or PM) IF YOU ARE A WOMAN PUBLIC SERVANT INTERESTED IN BEING A GUEST. EMAIL ME: Susan@FreemanMeansBusiness.com
THE FORCE | California State Treasurer, Fiona Ma, CPA
Fiona Ma, CPA, is California’s 34th State Treasurer. She was first elected on November 6, 2018, with more votes (7,825,587) than any other candidate for treasurer in the state's history and reelected on November 8, 2022. She is the first woman of color and the first woman Certified Public Accountant (CPA) elected to the position. The State Treasurer’s Office was created in the California Constitution in 1849. It provides financing for schools, roads, housing, recycling, waste management, hospitals, public facilities, and other crucial infrastructure projects that improve the lives of residents. California is the world’s fifth-largest economy and Treasurer Maisto is the state’s primary banker. Presently, her office processes more than $3 trillion in banking transactions. She provides transparency and oversight for the government’s investment portfolio and accounts, as well as for the state's surplus funds. Treasurer Ma oversees an investment portfolio that currently averages over $200 billion—a benefit to governments in California. She serves as agent of sale for all state bonds and is trustee of billions of dollars of state indebtedness.
