A VERY Happy International Women’s Day. As we commemorate this important day, it is imperative that we celebrate the achievements of women in all aspects of life, personal and professional. Specifically within our financial planning firm, our female dominant team fulfil a pivotal role in driving innovation, delivering exceptional service and challenging sector norms to foster a cohesive and harmonious company culture that trickles down to cultivating strong client relationships. Across a wider scope of this movement are the women who defy stereotypes and excel in a traditionally male-dominated industry. These trailblazers not only navigate the complexities of finance but also pave the way for future generations, inspiring confidence and support for stronger diversity in the workplace. We, not only on this dedicated day, but continuously through our firms’ beliefs and culture, proudly celebrate the resilience, intelligence and dedication of the women who grace our firm. Their contributions not only elevate our industry but also inspire us to strive for greater equality in all aspects of finance and we are excited to look to the future where we can continue to harness the untapped potential of women and drive positive change in our industry and society as a whole.

Amazing presentation by Professor Afra Afsharipour on the gender disparities that exist amongst the key players in M&A transactions and the positive impact that might be expected with better gender diversity. Also grateful for Teresa Ko and Sarah Su's rich sharing of their own experiences, on how they have navigated an often male-dominated environment. Everyone has a part in making a difference: it is important that women take an active role and be intentional in making career choices, while those who are more senior must sponsor and advance their female talent. If you witness inequalities, micro-aggressions or biases, call them out. #genderdiversity

As Women's History Month wraps up, we must recognize the incredible contributions of #womeninfinance. While progress has been made towards equal opportunities and economic empowerment, there's still work to be done. Let's celebrate the top 100 women in finance, including leaders of global brands that our onshore and nearshore teams at MAS Global Consulting partner with to advance their Digital Data and AI journeys. These women are using technology to build inclusive finance solutions and using innovation to impact business and communities. Barron's has compiled an article highlighting their achievements. Check it out to learn more about the inspiring work of these women. Are there any other women in finance who should be recognized, whether in Colombia, the US, Tampa, or anywhere else in the world? 👇 #InclusiveFinance #EconomicEmpowerment #WomensHistoryMonth Link: https://lnkd.in/e67jcCGa

On this International Women's Day, we honour and celebrate the legacy of the countless women who are catalysts for change, innovating, and leading with unparalleled insight and foresight. Together, let us continue to champion diversity, inclusion, and empowerment in the world of finance and beyond. Here's to all the remarkable women who inspire us to reach greater heights. 💼✨ #InvestInWomen #AnahitInsights #InternationalWomensDay #inspireinclusion #InvestmentInsight #EconomicIndicators #InvestmentInsights #ConsumerConfidence #MarketInsights #InvestorInsights #investmentinsights #InvestmentStrategy #ConstructionSector #InvestmentOpportunities #USA #InvestmentInsights #EconomicTrends #investmentsinsights #Stockinsights #hedgefundsanalysis #hedgefunds #cryptoinsights #investing #AnahitInsights #SmartInvesting #InvestSmart #FinancialEmpowerment #AnahitPlatform #SmartInvesting #FinancialAnalysis #MarketInsights #InvestmentStrategies #MacroEconomics #RiskManagement #FinancialIntelligence #AnahitInsights #EconomicTrends #FinancialEmpowerment #Australia

“The private equity and venture capital industry has so much potential to champion women as entrepreneurs, so it’s an absolute vital engine for growth.” As part of the BVCA’s recent Inspiring Women breakfast event, the latest in our #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion (DE&I) Series, we spoke with former government Minister Seema Kennedy OBE to learn more about her first-hand experience working in politics and regulation and to get her view on the ways the #privatecapital industry can increase the proportion of female senior investment professionals in the UK. Listen to Seema on: ◾ Her personal journey. ◾ Top tips for women wanting to break barriers and overcome challenges. ◾ Ways to overcome the lack of women in senior leadership roles.  ◾ How the private capital industry can play a role in this.  ◾ Best practice resources such as Anne Boden’s Women-Led High-Growth Enterprise Taskforce report (available here: https://lnkd.in/e_e3fuiN) and more.

Congrats Cilian Jansen Verplanke! She has been selected by our European branche association Invest Europe as one of the 40 influential women who have had an impact on the development of the private equity and venture capital industry.

✨👩💼 It’s International Women’s Day and we have a message from our CEO Sue Summers: “At Frontier Development Capital, we recognise that International Women’s Day is a significant day in the calendar, to celebrate achievements but also educate and raise awareness about women's equality. “The theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Invest in women: Accelerate progress , highlighting the importance of diversity and inclusivity within the financial industry as well as empowerment in other aspects of society. It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected. “We understand that women in business face an array of challenges, particularly when accessing external finance, due to the lack of general support in a very male-dominated financial sector. However, accessing the right finance and the right finance provider can have a positive impact on women in leadership roles and their business performance. “At FDC and the wider Mercia Asset Management PLC group, we have a diverse team sharing years of experience and industry insights to any business wishing to access finance. We invest more than just capital – investing in people and strong management teams to make sure businesses have the resources and support needed to grow and flourish. "Our professional and approachable team can provide the clarity a business needs, advise on concerns a business may have and signpost them so they can achieve their growth aspirations. “By providing both investment and support, women in business can be empowered to overcome the challenges they face, helping them unlock their business’ full potential.” Keep an eye out on our page this month as we continue highlight the achievements of women in business. 👩💼💪 #InternationalWomensDay #IWD #InvestInWomen #WomenInBusiness

I’m looking forward to participating in this year’s Global Summit of Women on May 9-11, joining AwakenHub’s Global Diaspora Ambassador Mary Ann Pierce in Madrid for a couple of days. I will be speaking on the "FINANCIAL PLANNING AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES FOR WOMEN" panel, moderated by Boots Geotina- Garcia & joining Maia Monell & Alicia Muñoz Lombardía, addressing our mainly female audience with reasons why more women should be diversifying their financial portfolios by introducing #angelinvestment as an additional asset class. Did you know that the process of inheritance is shifting the gender balance of wealth ownership and that women across all wealth brackets are set to inherit 70% of global wealth over the next two generations? An interesting future scenario to ponder … Looking forward to seeing you Tess Mateo & Irene Natividad
