Meet the Judges
Hear from previous years’ Standout winners
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).
