CIFC Women’s Affinity Network.

Our mission is to build an inclusive, interdisciplinary community that raises awareness of the barriers professional women face and provides support and resources for development and networking opportunities.

Together, we are working to create a workplace culture that encourages women to reach their full potential and contribute to the success of our firm.

Fostering a sense of belonging.

CIFC prides itself on an open-door collaborative culture, and that extends to every team member at every level of the organization. Employees are matched with mentors and mentees across departments, with the goals of building trust, hearing different perspectives and providing plenty of learning opportunities at every level of the firm.
