| 0:00.0 | In this episode of Boss Files, I like straight talking. I think transparency is important and authenticity |
| 0:07.2 | is important and I never love corporate speak. So I think it's important just to say how things are. |
| 0:15.1 | Jane Frazier, she's the CEO of Citigroup Latin America and the woman who helped rebuild city's reputation |
