Just over a week ago, on March 8, we celebrated International Women’s Day 2024, under the theme “Invest in women: Accelerate progress”. Standard Chartered Bank Kenya is one of the fintech entities investing in women, and has pioneered a gender-and-age inclusive approach to create an enabling environment for women to continue playing a role in accelerating progress in the face of physiological barriers. Munyori Evans, Head of Human Resources at Standard Chartered Bank Kenya, demonstrates that evolution of #fintech goes beyond creating software or products; it puts people first. https://lnkd.in/gMQB86w4 Martha Dali Mghendi-Fisher Abigail Komu - Okonji Topyster Muga Shakila Kerre Ramona Mwarey Darren Franks Viola Llewellyn Priscilla Owuor Grace N.

I cried when I received the Tech & Innovation Award yesterday from Forbes Africa. I just showed up in Johannesburg not knowing I was the winner. I asked myself, why me when I am just getting started? No amount of words can express what this award means to me in such a time when we are celebrating women who inspire inclusion #iwd2024 May this award inspire other young African women and generations to come to do better than me because I was here! To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48). Thank you to the women who have stood beside me as destiny helpers Terryanne Chebet Maryanne Ochola Sneha Sanghrajka Shah
