Take Advantage of the Biggest Financial Event in London. This year we have expanded to new verticals in Online Trading, Fintech, Digital Assets, Blockchain, and Payments.<\/strong><\/p>\n FMLS22 kicks off with its annual Networking Blitz, together with two full days of exhibitions, panels, and parties. Four content verticals will be explored, emphasizing the online trading, digital assets & blockchain, fintech, and the payments space for sessions, workshops, panels, and debates.<\/p>\n As a reminder, if you have not already done so, take advantage of competitive pricing and\u00a0register for FMLS22.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For all its progressive agenda the fintech community is still predominantly male, with only 4% of investment poured to start-ups led by women.<\/p>\n In this session we explore how this reality shapes women\u2019s prospects and experiences in fintech, as well as structural ways for the industry to improve and create greater diversity, for its own benefit.<\/p>\n You will be speaking on the Cultivating Female Leadership in Fintech: Challenges and Opportunities<\/strong><\/em> panel, what do you think will be the highlight of the discussion and why should the audience attend it?<\/p>\n Lissele Pratt<\/a> (Capitalixe<\/a>)<\/strong>:\u00a0The most noteworthy aspect of this discussion will be the significant benefits that greater diversity can bring to the fintech industry as a whole. Studies have shown that businesses with a more diverse workforce tend to outperform their less diverse counterparts in a multitude of ways and highlighting this with the audience through stats and case studies will be an integral part of this discussion.<\/p>\n With only 2% of funding going to women-owned businesses, 30% of the fintech workforce acquired by women, and a shocking statistic that women hold only 5% of leadership roles in financial technology \u2013 it is evident that we still have a long way to go.<\/p>\n This discussion aims to provide actionable tips that the audience can take back with them to help create change within their own organisations. I firmly believe that by supporting each other and having these types of discussions, we can begin to make progress for the next generation of women in fintech.<\/p>\n Tamara Kostova<\/strong> (Velexa):\u00a0Female Leadership is not just about women, so I\u2019m looking forward to integrating my own lived experiences in Fintech with the opinions of both female and male market leaders. There are a lot of conversations about Women in Fintech, but this panel is going to focus on what has worked for us in breaking down the barriers that can be instutionalised and proliferated.<\/p>\n Sophie Gerber<\/strong> (TRAction Fintech, Sophie Grace):\u00a0The highlight for me will be finding out the great things that other female leaders and up-and-coming-stars are doing in fintech around the world. When you are running a business or team you can get so focused on the day-to-day that you don’t have time to learn about what others are doing unless it directly impacts you.<\/p>\n Diversity in fintech and the finance industry more generally is super important and so beneficial for businesses \u2013 firms that are low on female participation should come along to find out why they should put some energy into changing that, likewise firms that do have high female participation can come along and share their experiences.<\/p>\n No doubt the room will be full of fantastic females in the industry, and everyone should be wanting to meet them which is reason enough to come along!<\/p>\n Janthana Kaenprakhamroy<\/strong> (Tapoly): According to Fortune.com, only 4.8% of global 500 companies are run by female CEOs, this shows that we are lagging behind in terms of gender equality at the top. I’m looking forward to sharing my views on this topic, along with the benefits women bring at the board level.<\/p>\n This is a great opportunity for aspiring founders who are looking for role models or who simply want to learn from top female leaders in the industry and benefit from their lessons learned.<\/p>\n Lissele Pratt<\/strong> (Capitalixe):\u00a0I’m incredibly excited to attend FMLS this year and have the opportunity to connect with many inspiring and driven individuals. I’m also looking forward to sharing my story as a female fintech founder and highlighting the challenges and opportunities that come with the territory.<\/p>\n There’s still a lot of work to be done when it comes to gender diversity in this industry, but events like FMLS are helping to pave the way for change. I hope my story can help raise awareness and inspire other women to pursue their dreams in fintech.<\/p>\n Tamara Kostova<\/strong> (Velexa):\u00a0Finance Magnates is not just bringing industry leaders together, but inciting the best conversations, so I\u2019m looking forward to discussing a partnership that will push Investing-as-a-Service forward.<\/p>\n Sophie Gerber<\/strong> \u2013 (TRAction Fintech, Sophie Grace):\u00a0I’m looking forward to catching up with the industry \u2013 friends, clients, colleagues \u2013 seeing what’s happening in the market and meeting new people. Over 10 years of the London expo the industry has evolved a lot and it’s always great to be able to see and hear in one place the broader themes which are impacting participants and their businesses.<\/p>\n Janthana Kaenprakhamroy<\/strong> (Tapoly):\u00a0It’s my first time going to FMLS, so I’m excited to compare notes with leaders from across our industry, and to connect with insurers as well as investors.<\/p>\nCultivating Female Leadership in Fintech: Challenges and Opportunities<\/h3>\n
