Takes on Talent: Best of 2025

Today, we talk with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/pariparchi/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Pari Parchi</a>, Founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/panorama-aero/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Panorama Aero</a>. Before launching Panorama Aero, she built an elite Wall Street career at <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/morgan-stanley/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Morgan Stanley</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/fortress-investment-group/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Fortress Investment Group</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/td-cowen/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Cowen,</a> where she became CEO of Cowen Aviation Finance. Pari shares how structured finance shaped her entrepreneurial edge, why she refused early dilution, how she built a specialized aviation fleet serving high-stakes missions, and what motherhood, ownership, and independent thinking have taught her about leadership and hiring.﻿Key Takeaways: 00:00 Introduction.05:44 Owning equity early protects long-term decision control.07:06 Motherhood became the catalyst for entrepreneurship.13:33 Women on Wall Street face systematic attrition.24:04 Seed rounds mean more responsibility, not celebration.31:28 The evolution of personal branding from skepticism to necessity.38:44 Grit from athletics matters more than perfect grades.40:32 Perfectionism and Instagram culture create false expectations.42:48 Hiring decisions come from gut feeling, not answers.45:44 Continuous learning prevents stagnation at any age.
