During Women’s History Month, it seems fitting to acknowledge the many impressive women in history who have worked tirelessly to advance women's financial independence. One that might not be so well known is Maggie Lena Walker. In 1903, Walker became both the first African American woman to charter a bank, and the first African American woman to serve as a bank president for the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. The bank's leadership also included several female board members.  As a leader, Walker achieved successes with the vision to make tangible improvements in the way of life for women. How can you follow the great example of courage and ingenuity that Maggie left for us? How about creating your own personal bank? Did you know that was a thing? Many women are using this strategy to grow their money tax free and create an opportunity fund for themselves now, that will eventually become a retirement fund in the future. If you’d like to learn more about how you can create one too, feel free to reach out. #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen #womenandwealth #smartmoneystrategist

Thank you for continuing to champion why it’s vital for corporations to embrace inclusive growth strategies Greg Cunningham, MBA. When many parts of the country are seemingly going backwards as it pertains to DEI efforts, U.S. Bank and many major corporations here in Minnesota understand we can’t go back. I’ll never understand how a corporation can pull back on strategies that are intended to attract more talent and consumers to their brands. As I shared in a recent interview with MPR, DEI in corporate has sometimes gotten mixed in with social justice. It’s not social justice, it’s making sure your team reflects your customer base so you can create and offer services that keep you relevant. We are going to be a majority-minority nation. This is a fact. So corporations have a choice to either do good business, or to ignore what’s soon to be the majority of their potential customers. We’re paying attention. #FutureOfBusiness #ChampioningDiversity #USBank #DiversityMatters #CorporateLeadership #SocialImpact

We couldn't agree more with Anne Boden in her recent article for This Is Money, where she reflects on the challenges she faced in establishing Starling Bank. Her statement, “we don’t need to temper our personalities to suit the environment. The status quo needs to shift” really resonated with us. This is exactly why Laura Brunnen founded the March community. To shift the status quo and to provide a safe space where women in M&A can be themselves and support one another.

🌟 Exciting news! We just launched Diversity Beyond Gender UK 2023, and the event at HSBC Innovation Banking was a blast! 🚀 Here's a glimpse of the key findings: 👉 Only 11% of funding rounds went to Global Majority Heritage founders, though they make up 18% of the UK population. 🚀 Shockingly, these founders raised lower-value rounds, impacting their growth potential. 🎯 Series A, B, and C funding stages reveal a glaring underrepresentation of Global Majority Heritage founders—calling for crucial attention. 💡 While women founders saw a slight increase in investment (11% [2009-2019] to 14.5% [2013-2023]), the data exposes the continued underrepresentation of Black women, securing a mere 0.14% of funding from 2013 to 2023. Full report available now at extend.vc/reports Dive into the insights that reshape the future of funding diversity. 📊✨ Abi Mohamed Erika Brodnock MBE Tom Adeyoola David A. Kenneth Kashif Thomas

Today, on #internationalwomensday with the theme #InspireInclusion, we celebrate the progress Swiss banks are making towards gender diversity in leadership.   We analyzed the top 3 Swiss banks (UBS, Crédit Suisse, and Julius Baer) to see which one has the highest % of women in Executive leadership positions.   🔝 By number of women in Executive Positions: 1. UBS 2. Julius Baer 3. Credit Suisse   📈 By Assets Under Management: 1. UBS 2. Credit Suisse 3. Julius Baer   ⚠ While these figures don't reflect full parity yet, they represent a positive trend toward a more diverse leadership landscape at these Swiss banks, which has been historically male-dominated. This trajectory is likely boosted by their respective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.   Ranking based on 2024 data from annual reports and websites of the three major Swiss banks: UBS, Credit Suisse, and Julius Baer.   💡What are your thoughts on the progress of these institutions? How can the financial sector further champion female leadership globally?
