“Innovate Finance is proud to celebrate the achievements of all of you – and hope to see this list grow bigger every year. Closing the gender gap and promoting diversity remain priorities for our organisation. We all have a role to play in making financial services better for consumers – and creating a workforce that reflects the diversity of those we serve is a step in the right direction.”
