    I am hugely honoured this morning to have been announced on the Innovate Finance Pride in Fintech powerlist. It honestly does not feel real at all but it has helped to remind me of just how much our Circle of Pride team have achieved this year and all the awesome things we are already working on for next year to show how inclusive a space Fintech is to those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and of course Funding Circle UK - they give me the space to be exactly as I am and give me the opportunity to do this important work. Also I love that the picture of me was taken at Pride! Also lovely to see people on the powerlist that I know! Hi Deon Pillay CMgr MCMI and Laura P 👋 as well as some absolute power house people that I will no doubt get the chance to fangirl at in the future! Have a look at everyone on the list - I'm truly amongst some incredible people https://lnkd.in/e3NHB-29 Thank you so much Innovate Finance for this opportunity and for celebrating the community - it means the world to show we are here and doing amazing work in the Fintech industry. #PrideInFinTech
