Orthodox Jewish All Star Shifra Kolsky, Controller & Chief Accounting Officer at Discover

“I had a conversation with our former CFO, Mark Graf, and I asked him point blank, ‘Am I limited in how far I can go because of my religious observance?’ And he just flat out immediately was like, ‘Absolutely not… it’s a question of who’s qualified for the job. If you’re qualified for the job, then people will work around it.'” Shifra Kolsky made her way up in the financial services world as an Orthodox Jew who was unwavering in her Jewish observance. Hear from Controller & Chief Accounting Officer at Discover Shifra Kolsky, who received an All Star Award, for proud observant Jews in leading professions at JITC’s 2nd Jewish Media Awards at Lincoln Center on November 12, 2024.
