Celebrating women and the pursuit of equity on this International Women’s Day, meet some of the most inspiring women in Fintech 👑
To honor women across the globe every day, here are a few highlights I put together for you from WTFintech? Season 1. #InternationalWomensDay
During the show’s first season, I've had the pleasure of sharing stories of women motivated by success, mentoring those on their journey, and working out what legacy to leave the next generation of women in Fintech.
Ready to fill your queue with inspirational women? I got you:
What do you think about compliance fintech? Stuffy? Serious?
You haven’t met Amy Kadomatsu (@amyk1313) CEO of @ComplySci. Once you do, you’re never going to see compliance in the same light again.
She shares how to build a culture of compliance within all your teams. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
I get it. Compliance isn’t sexy. But get on the wrong side of it and it can spell disaster for your company.
That’s why you need Amy, whose contagiously positive energy is shining a light on an area of fintech that deserves way more attention.
Amy shares why she’s obsessed with innovation, dedicated to entrepreneurship, and loves encouraging diversity.
Inspired by her Japanese heritage, she brings her culture and experience into her leadership and is a firm believer in being her authentic self with her team.
I've been one of those little girls looking to see myself in leadership roles. Over time, you start to believe that there's something wrong with you.
That's why I started WTFintech? Here's the (very personal) story behind it👇🏾
There is an incredible and often overlooked impact when seeing someone who looks like you in the news cycle whether that be via a video, newsletter, or podcast.
Women's creative input has historically not made it into our nation's storytelling.
In fintech, most of the products and stories told are made up of men making stuff for other men. That's a problem.
We have to give women opportunities to feel inspired by female leaders.
Crypto-related job postings are up nearly 400% in the past year.
@BlockFi asked women about their interest in working in crypto and how they currently search for new opportunities. (Real Talk: Women x Crypto 2.0 survey)
Here’s what they said:
One in 10 women surveyed believes crypto is the most promising career sector. (Double the number of respondents who said fintech 👀)
15% of women surveyed are interested in a career in crypto with one in 10 planning to apply to a role at crypto or blockchain-focused company in the next year.
