"We make a living of what we get, we make a life of what we give. Lets start with Geraldine Weiss, a hugely successful women investor. As the co-author of Dividends Don't Lie and The Dividend Connection, Weiss popularized the idea of using dividend yield as a valuation metric by indicating that there is a strong relationship between a company's ability to pay dividends over time and the performance of the company in the stock market. If you focus on dividends you clearly have a second income from it AND you can enjoy your investment by using the dividend based valuation methodology. By sharing her idea and popularizing this idea Geraldine Weiss was making herself immortal. sharif is caring and it also makes imprints on your life for long when you are gone. Another successful woman in finance sharing her insights and story is Abby Joseph Cohen.named one of the 30 most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal,. she highly predicted the bull market of the 1990ies and was named and was named Institutional Investor's top strategist in 1998 and 1999. today Abby Joseph Cohen recognizes that the U.S. economy is strong, but she thinks it can improve if government leaders focus on investing in technological and infrastructure innovations. An how about Europe. In Europe more and more women are successfully populating the finance and finch landscape and not just in compliance, HR or audit departments but also as business development strategists. One of them is Joanna Pamphilis, the Chief Digital & Information Officer at UniCredit, with over 20 years of experience in financial services, M&A, and consulting. Having worked with State Street, KCG, UBS and Northern Trust, she is known fo transformational leadershipwitha focus on finch and digital transformation across the financial sector. she recently called to action on gender parity.

"We expect women to be workers as if they don’t have children and to be mothers as if they are not working." - Caroline Ericsson This is just some of the powerful insights shared in the final session of Fintech Week London, "Women of FinTech," by far the best session of the event! Even more impressive was that this panel of women came together at such short notice—only the night before, Lucy Heavens was asked to moderate and find women to join her. This truly showcases the value a community can bring. These incredible women shared their insights and experiences in the fintech industry, highlighting the importance of change, innovation, and support for women in the field. Tiffany Nana Afua Appiah (who I must say is just amazing) emphasised the need for meaningful change: "I needed to be part of change; I like the idea of innovation. If I am going to do something that is part of change, it has to do good." She also shared empowering advice on leveraging available resources and seeking mentorship: "Within the blink of an eye, you have everything accessible—make use of it. Put yourself out there. If you are lacking, get mentors and talk to people. Don’t be afraid to admit you are missing something but then commit to getting better." Alexandra C. about the power of inspiration and representation: "Being inspired by other women allows you to be in the room where it happens." Caroline Ericsson also touched on the importance of advocacy and inclusion: "If women are underrepresented, make no mistake that black women are too. We need specific strategies and actions to ensure black women are included." Nitika Vyas, CFA, founder of Aila Money, shared her journey to fintech, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for women: "Coming from a low-income background, I didn’t know about finances or saving. Entering finance, I saw just how male-dominated it was. It made me question if I wanted to be the 'alpha woman' to get to the top." She found her mission in closing the wealth gap: "Financial stress is the second biggest stressor. My mission is to close the wealth gap and help people achieve life goals through financial literacy." They encouraged tapping into networks: "Women in fintech, please join and sign up. If there’s one network worth your time, it’s these women." Overall, the session was simply fantastic and one to remember! These women highlighted the transformative potential of fintech, the importance of mentorship and networks, and the unique challenges women face in balancing professional and personal roles. #womenoffintech #fintech #women #inclusion #community #networking #fintechweek

They call them the silent nation builders, the unsung heroes, the backbone of society. And quite honestly? They're not wrong. Women are the glue that holds families together, the driving force behind communities, and the silent engines of economic growth. From running businesses to raising children, from managing households to pursuing careers, women wear countless hats, juggling responsibilities with an unwavering spirit. This International Women's Day, we celebrate their incredible achievements and contributions, not just with words of praise, but with action – empowering them to take charge of their financial futures. Why financial literacy, you might ask? Because knowledge is power, and financial knowledge is the key to unlocking a world of possibilities. The harsh reality is that globally, only 36% of women are financially literate, compared to 42% of men [Source: World Bank]. This knowledge gap translates into a whopping $178 trillion global productivity loss annually [Source: Standard Chartered]. It's a statistic that demands our attention, wouldn't you agree? Imagine a world where women; feel confident making financial decisions for themselves and their families, without relying solely on others. Are equipped to save for future goals, like education, retirement, or starting a business, without feeling overwhelmed by complex financial jargon. Understand the power of smart investment strategies to build wealth and secure their financial well-being. This is the future we can create, and it starts with empowering women with financial literacy. Here's where I come in. As a personal finance consultant, I'm passionate about helping women of all backgrounds maneuver the ever-evolving world of finance. I offer personalized guidance on topics like: > Developing a savings plan. > Understanding investment options. > Managing risk and protecting your assets. Financial planning shouldn’t be about complicated formulas and financial jargon. It's about taking control, making informed decisions, and building a secure future for yourself and your loved ones. As the esteemed, late RBG Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, ?"As women achieve power, the barriers will fall. As society sees what women can do, as women see what women can do, there will be more women out there doing things, and we'll all be better off for it." This International Women's Day, let's fulfill Justice Ginsburg's vision. Let's celebrate the remarkable women in our lives by empowering them with the knowledge they deserve. Take charge, invest in yourself, and secure a bright financial future. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Ready to take the first step?
