Hear from previous years’ Standout winners

“To find my name featured in the Standout 35 of the Women in Fintech Powerlist 2019 was a very humbling and pleasant surprise. It is an honour to feature amidst such talented individuals. Much progress has been made in gender equality but there is a long way to go. Such initiatives help showcase talent, create a supportive community and inspire future generations to follow suit and dream the dreams. Receiving this recognition also brings a strong responsibility to help others by paving the way and paying it forward by doing our part to build a more inclusive community within and outside the workplace.”

– Tribeni Chougule, Head Of Change Management – CFO Office, Visa

I am very grateful to be included in the Powerlist. I believe initiatives like this are useful to highlight profiles of women in Fintech that would otherwise not have a chance at being recognised, especially women in technical roles like myself, who often take the backstage. The work of organisations like Innovate Finance to promote and support women in technology and finance is never ending. There is a lot to be done and it is fantastic to see their reach and credibility in the financial services and the fintech world put to good use.

– Evelina Vrabie, Co-Founder & CTO, Touco

As one of the Standout #35 Women in the FinTech (2019), this pivotal initiative has facilitated my creating closer synergy between industry/academia, as follows. First, invites to speak about the National FinTech Network/FinTrust research at CogX/international conferences, universities and reviewing FinTech research applications. Second, increasing my industry footprint: input to organisational strategy, multiple panel invitations, commenting on policy/regulatory innovation around Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR)―named as a ‘Founder’ of the CDR movement led by Rob Price (formerly Worldline). Likewise, working with Moneyline and the Aster Foundation in addressing how FinTech can assist in alleviating financial exclusion in the UK/globally (funding: The Gates Foundation).

– Karen Elliot, Senior Lecturer in Enterprise/Innovation (FinTech), Newcastle University

Being listed in the Innovate Finance Women in FinTech Power List and as a Standout 35 was an absolute honour and a real boost for my confidence. I would encourage everyone in the FinTech community to nominate women in your network. We all know a number of very talented females that aren’t always in the public eye, that aren’t always visible on social media, that aren’t always the first to speak up in meetings, that deserve the recognition for the valuable contribution they make to the success of the FinTech industry. And these women deserve to be rewarded and called out for their dedication and hard work.
