From Jersey City to Wall Street: A Pioneer’s Journey
Born and raised in Jersey City, Emily Zubi’s story is rooted in ambition, courage, and determination. As a proud Latina navigating spaces where few women—and even fewer Hispanic women—were represented, Emily consistently broke barriers.
Her career began on Wall Street, where she became one of the first Hispanic women to train MBA executives at Goldman Sachs—a remarkable achievement that set the tone for a career defined by firsts. At a time when diversity in leadership was far from the norm, Emily was already paving the way for future generations.
