Wenjun XuInvestor Relations/Treasury Lead, Granite Construction
Please share a little about yourself:
Hi everyone! I'm currently a Finance Lead at Granite Construction, supporting both the Investor Relations and Treasury Strategy teams. I began my career as an Equity Research Associate covering the U.S. infrastructure sector, and I’m now in my final year of the Evening & Weekend MBA program at UC Berkeley. I’m especially passionate about how emerging technologies can drive efficiencies in legacy industries like construction. Outside of work and school, I enjoy photography and hiking with my dog, Pikachu— we’re currently training for my Everest adventure later this year!
What inspired you to join FWSF?
I was inspired to join FWSF to connect with like-minded women in finance and be part of a supportive community that empowers each other both personally and professionally.
What’s your favorite part of FWSF?
I’m excited to be part of a community where we can swap real talk, share advice, and cheer each other on—and I’d love to organize some hiking adventures so we can connect beyond spreadsheets and boardrooms!
What’s your best career tip for women working in finance or financial services?
Be bold in pursuing opportunities that ignite your curiosity—even if they feel unfamiliar. Some of the most rewarding career moments come when you step into the unknown with confidence and a willingness to grow.
