Still feeling inspired after last night's TAG Fintech Society event "Celebrating Women in #FinTech" with the fabulous Naomi Donaldson, Shannon Johnston, Andra Milender, and Kristin Slink. Leaders, here are few actions we can take now: 1️⃣ The first step to #equalpay is to come armed with data. Work with your HR professionals to look across the organization and markets for areas that can be improved and then methodically work to improve them. (For all you VCs/PEs out there... FUND FEMALE FOUNDERS, it's good for business >> https://lnkd.in/gtZX4ufH) 2️⃣ Everyone has moments that makes them cringe and feeling like an imposter is real, but it can be a good thing. Encourage your team to use #impostersyndrome as a barometer. If you aren't a little uncomfortable, are you growing enough? 3️⃣ #sponsorship and #mentorship are different, but both are important. Be on the look out for ways to recommend the brilliant women in your circle for higher profile opportunities that could propel their career.

You know what? I’m always excited about the women who break barriers and conquer a more inclusive FinTech industry 😍 That’s why I’d like to tell more about women who inspire me! ✨ The first person is Adena Friedman, the President and CEO of Nasdaq.

Adena inspired women to explore careers in the tech and finance sectors. ✨ Anne Boden, Founder and former CEO of Starling Bank, is another notable name.
