Women in Leadership Roles : Mia Drennan

For Mia Drennan, rejection was the nudge she needed to walk away from corporate stability to a build a business spanning four continents.
This week on the delivery space podcast, Sharon and I had the privilege of speaking with Mia, founder of GLAS, a global leader in financial administration.
Working directly with Mia, Sharon and I have both been inspired by her and other senior leaders within GLAS that we couldn’t wait to get her story out there.
Mia had a thriving career, a six-figure salary and promotion that never came.
Rather than ponder over what could’ve been, she made a decision to re-write her own narrative, discovered a gap in the market and built a business to serve and guide clients through complex transactions.
In this episode, Mia shares:
📍How rejection became the catalyst for her entrepreneurial journey
📍Why service and trust are the cornerstones of every client relationship
📍The importance of nurturing the people around you as great businesses are built by empowered teams
About our guest
Mia is one of the Founding Partners of Global Loan Agency Services Limited ("GLAS") an independent, non-bank, conflict free, provider of loan agency and trustee services with a particular niche in restructurings and special situations. GLAS is fast becoming known as a proactive, forward thinking, solutions provider who is readily able to step into "messy" situations and get the job done.
