Could you elaborate on how fostering diversity and inclusion within Finastra influences the company ' s approach to product development and client engagement in the financial technology sector ?
As the executive sponsor for Proud @ Finastra initiatives and supporting Women @ Finastra , I actively encourage diversity at our company . At school , computer science was perceived as a subject for boys . Today , women remain underrepresented in IT and finance more broadly , so it ’ s great to be an advocate for other women in the company and industry , especially as we approach International Women ’ s Day in March where the theme is Inspire Inclusion .
