FinTech Academy: Hogan Lovells and Innovate Finance Investors and FinTech Breakfast

CEO Roundtable on Leadership and Communications

The expectations of FinTech Founders and CEOs are extraordinarily high. They need to be strategic thinkers and fast movers, team builders and risk takers. They must have tremendous stamina and huge passion for their business.  

Above all, CEOs need to be first-class communicators. Persuasively articulating their startup’s mission is crucial to attract investors and customers, build a uniting culture and focus the team on purpose, vision and values.

A startup’s reputation is closely tied to that of its leadership. Crafting a positive reputation early on their scaling journey is imperative to build resilience.

How should CEOs think about communications? What principles should they adopt? How can they inspire their team and external stakeholders? How do they scale up and preserve the most important aspects of their culture?

Join our CEO Roundtable, hosted by strategic advisory firm Audley, to discuss these questions and more.

Innovate Finance members only. Please register to secure your seat.

UK - US Forum: Founder's Breakfast

We bring together representatives from the ecosystem to discuss partnerships, policy, governance, challenges and opportunities in the FinTech Sector in the UK

Institutional Dinner (Big Tech, Banks & FinTech)

<div>

Across the ever-expanding FinTech world, the need to pave the way for equal opportunities in the workplace couldn't be more prevalent, with top female leaders in UK FinTech citing a lack of industry recognition for their contribution (27%) and non-transparent promotion processes (25%) as particular challenges to career progression.

This calls for the FinTech landscape to continue striving to achieve gender parity in the workplace; championing diversity and inclusion methods can help FinTechs innovate by providing a broader range of perspectives to identify opportunities and create solutions for all types of customers.

In NorthRow's next Wired-In webinar, Nadia Edwards-Dashti, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer at Harrington Starr, will draw upon the key findings from her widely successful book 'FinTech Women Walk the Talk' that contains insight from more than 150 FinTech experts, more than 100 of which are women.

Nadia will uncover the following:

</div>
<ul>
 	<li>The state of play across the FinTech landscape</li>
 	<li>The actions companies and experts are taking to drive gender equality</li>
 	<li>The most impactful steps to take to remove barriers</li>
 	<li>How to instil confidence and be the driving force for change</li>
</ul>
