Very honored to be recognized as part of the Innovate Finance Standout 45 on the Women in Fintech Powerlist 2023 🌟 This recognition means a lot and caps off a difficult, challenging 2023 for me, personally, but also highlights the collective impact of female leaders in the fintech industry. The journey for female entrepreneurs and leaders in fintech is tough. From access to funding and resources to breaking through gender biases, the road to "success" is riddled with obstacles. Despite hurdles, women continue to defy expectations, innovate, and drive meaningful change in the fintech landscape (and obviously beyond). The Women in Fintech Powerlist sheds light on the remarkable contributions of women who are leading the charge in this dynamic industry. It underscores the importance of diversity and inclusion, not only as a moral imperative but also as a strategic advantage in driving innovation and industry growth. I'm acutely aware of my platform and am committed to advocating for greater representation, empowerment, and opportunities for underrepresented voices in the industry. Together, we can create an ecosystem that fosters creativity, collaboration, and success for all. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the incredible women who have been recognized on this Powerlist (as well as the ones not on the list). Let us continue to inspire, support, and lift one another as we shape the future of fintech and pave the way for generations to come. 💪🚀 #WomenInFintech #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #FintechInnovation #Empowerment

Over the last four years at Money Minx and Arta Finance, I’ve had my fair share of eye-openers about personal finance and investing. But if there’s one thing that consistently gets my attention, it’s the way we, as women, navigate this space. I'm not just talking about spending or investing. It’s about understanding our journeys, which often include longer lifespans and maybe a break or two for family care. Somehow, these crucial conversations often end up being seen as taboo or off-limits. Well, it’s high time we changed that narrative. And what better way to do that than by coming together with other women who get it? On March 19th, Arta Finance teams up with Nicole Casperson for "Trailblazing Women in Fintech." It’s a space for us to dive into those often-ignored conversations, share insights, and maybe even challenge a few norms along the way. Plus you can nominate a female fintech leader to join the expert panel. I nominated one of my colleagues - although I can think of many who would shine on this stage. Spread the word to any women you know in finance and fintech. Can’t wait to see you there and shake up the world of finance together. #womeninfintech #womeninfinance #womenandmoney

Hearing from Women Leaders in Fintech - Finovate: We interviewed three women leaders in the fintech industry last month. Here's a bit of the knowledge and experience they shared with us.

Nicole Casperson has done it again rewriting the Fintech narrative at Nasdaq in Times Square. She is a clear showcase of how investing in women yields the greatest return on investment. I am always inspired by how she used her vision and cultural (and professional) background 🇵🇭 to grow Fintech is Femme with the use of social media and newsletters. Especially her newsletter with 50,000+ professionals, in which she showcases her expert storytelling skills and unique perspective (always followed with memes). For me, I learned the power of having a strong newsletter, which can be used for distribution by owning your audience. Since this is Women's History Month, this is the 1st of my series of 'Women that You Should Follow.' Who is the one woman who inspired you? #fintechisfemme #fintech #womenshistorymonth #womeninfintech

🎉Exciting news - I've been nominated for Innovate Finance Women in FinTech Powerlist! It's like getting a gold star🌟from the cool kids at school - totally unexpected but incredibly gratifying! A huge shoutout to those who threw my hat into the ring. Your vote of confidence is both flattering and motivating. 🙏 #innovatefinance #WomenInFintech2023 #fintechleaders #WIFPowerList23

Female founders are the missing piece in the unicorn puzzle Despite the impressive growth of #unicorns, the representation of #women founders is shockingly low. With only 14% of unicorns having a female co-founder and a mere 5% with a female #CEO, it's clear that there is a significant disparity in representation. This slow progress is alarming, especially when considering the overwhelming dominance of male founders in the field. The main culprit behind this imbalance is the fact that 85% of #VC investment decision-makers are men, according to All Raise and Crunchbase. #Loquat
