A special International Women’s Day episode

Leonid’s Adam Nelson sits down with Rebecca Rossiter, Partner at AlixPartners. With a career spanning more than two decades across London, New York and Paris, Rebecca brings stories, insights and hard-won lessons that you rarely hear outside closed-door boardrooms. Rebecca reveals how she made the leap from audit to forensics, the pivotal investigations that shaped her career, and the realities of navigating high-stakes, cross-border matters. She shares what international experience really adds to an investigator’s toolkit - and the key moments that accelerated her path to Partner. Rebecca also reflects on the human side of the profession: why trust is everything, how in-house experience reshaped her approach, and the overlooked skills that differentiate good forensic accountants from great ones. And, in a field still dominated by men, Rebecca speaks openly about what it means to build a successful career as a senior woman in forensics - from networking and visibility, to bias, to the initiatives that are genuinely moving the dial for the next generation.

This is an inspiring and insightful conversation, ideal for anyone interested in career progression, or the future of the forensic accounting profession. Are you a woman in forensic accounting? Find support and connect with others through the links below:
