In this article, Tipalti's CFO Sarah Spoja shares, "Women made up just 16% of CFOs in 2023. While this figure has almost doubled over the past ten years, the percentages of women at the top remain too low. We must create a more dynamic environment that embraces modernization through technology to make the career more attractive to young talent, and we must continue to mentor our emerging talent through programs that showcase opportunities for their careers to grow across finance and accounting."

Happy International Women’s Day!   Dive into the insightful words of Teresa Cameron CIMA, AMCT, Finance Director at Clear Junction, as she shares a compelling perspective on the state of diversity, equality, and inclusion within the fintech industry in Private Banker International’s #InternationalWomensDay article.   Teresa challenges the industry’s claims of embracing diversity, pointing out that, despite fintech being hailed as a bold and innovative sector, female representation remains low.   Fintech holds the potential to be a force for good and drive financial inclusion, with Teresa advocating for fintech companies to authentically represent the diverse societies they serve. At Clear Junction, we’re proud to have a team of over 120 individuals from various nationalities, languages, and cultures across multiple locations, with half of our C-suite members being female. The strength of Clear Junction lies in our diverse team, where different backgrounds and experiences converge to fuel innovative problem-solving.   As we reflect on Teresa’s words, let’s recognise the power of diversity and inclusion in fostering innovation and success within the fintech landscape.    #FintechInnovation #DiversityandInclusion #FinancialInclusion #WomenInSTEM #InnovateTogether #IWD2024
