We are shown how to elevate, sponsor and advocate for our female colleagues. We’re reminded to do that even when they’re not in the room. We’re reminded that allyship isn’t a token gesture.And Silvia explores the various lenses through which we should consider diversity. In her role as Head of EMEA, Silvia is frequently exposed to differing backgrounds and experiences — and it is this breadth of diversity that can make our industry so powerful. It means greater diversity of thought, greater innovation, and sponsoring a more inclusive future.FinTech's DEI Discussions is powered by Harrington Starr, global leaders in Financial Technology Recruitment.
