What does it take to drive real, scalable #FinancialInclusion for women? Our President & CEO Mary Ellen Iskenderian joined McGuireWoods LLP's Deal Us In Podcast to share how our work is helping women globally access financial tools they’ve historically been denied. Key takeaways: 1. Women are a viable, loyal, and underserved market. They deserve serious investment attention, not just a place in CSR portfolios. 2. Fintech paired with a gender lens creates powerful innovation. But only if products are designed inclusively from the start. 3. Gender-diverse teams drive better outcomes. Inclusive leadership is critical to serving women customers effectively. Listen here: https://bit.ly/4jVKz8F (fb)

“One of the reasons I remain as inspired by the issues of #FinancialInclusion and economic opportunity for women is that it is genuinely something that we can all contribute to.” As we wrap up our year-long 45th anniversary celebration, Mary Ellen reflects on Women’s World Banking’s journey, from a bold vision shared by a few pioneers to a global organization reaching millions of women and reminds us that everyone has a role to play in making finance work for women. #WomenLeaders #GenderEquality #EconomicEmpowerment (fb)
