At Trowe Price, Grabot’s management helped increase the bottom line, profitability, and client retention. Grabot also paved the way in her industry to allow female executives to be themselves– wearing trousers when desired, choosing not to travel weekends, and bringing her young sons along on business trips--a giant leap for professional women in the workplace. Grabot’s impressive leadership skills led her to become the executive vice president at Trust Company of the West where she incubated GuidedChoice™. Grabot has created an impressive and respectable reputation in the industry. She was recognized as the youngest female CLU after being chosen for the LUPAC board and working closely with Senator Lloyd Bentsen on Section 89.
