Christine Carona, a former star broker at UBS Group AG, won a more than $1.5 million arbitration award after she alleged gender discrimination against her former employer and its Boston-based branch manager.
The ruling found that UBS and her former boss, James Ducey, hurt Carona’s career by treating her differently from male peers and then retaliating after she complained multiple times to the human resources department. Carona will receive more than $600,000, while the rest of the money will cover attorneys’ fees and other costs.
