NEW
YORK, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
American Banker, Arizent's leading resource for senior executives
in financial services, announces its annual list of finalists for
the Most Influential Women in Fintech recognition program.
"Many of the finalists are CEOs of sizable
fintech companies, which shows the ranks of women bosses are
growing in this industry. With women founders receiving less than a
quarter of all VC money in the sector last year, it's critical to
call attention to these leaders and their contributions."
Now in its second year, the award honors female leaders in the
fintech community who are paving the way for the industry's future
while championing critical issues like diversity, inclusion and
mentorship.
"Many of this year's finalists are CEOs of sizable fintech
companies, which shows the ranks of women bosses are growing in
this industry," says Penny Crosman,
Executive Editor, Technology at American Banker. "Female founders
in the sector received more VC money last year than in 2022, but
it's still less than a quarter of what their male counterparts get,
so it's critical to call attention to these leaders and their
contributions."
