In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re sharing the Financial Alliance for Women’s recent Fintech Friday session on how A.I. can improve women’s financial inclusion. Female co-founded Boost Capital joined the panel of remarkable women shaping technology and AI in the world:  Aditi Sholapurkar (SALT - mysaltapp Co-Founder),Kelly Uphoff (Tala CTO),and  Viola Llewellyn (@thetulle-box Founder). Globally women are unserved with a $1.7 trillion in unmet demand for credit among woman owned formal MSMEs in developing markets and more than 700 million women have no access to a bank account. Boost CEO Gordon Peters spoke about how Boost uses A.I. for customer service and onboarding, but noted the importance of human-in-the-loop, which is often required by financial service providers (and customers) to fully enable the most underbanked.

Very honored to be recognized as part of the Innovate Finance Standout 45 on the Women in Fintech Powerlist 2023 🌟 This recognition means a lot and caps off a difficult, challenging 2023 for me, personally, but also highlights the collective impact of female leaders in the fintech industry. The journey for female entrepreneurs and leaders in fintech is tough. From access to funding and resources to breaking through gender biases, the road to "success" is riddled with obstacles. Despite hurdles, women continue to defy expectations, innovate, and drive meaningful change in the fintech landscape (and obviously beyond). The Women in Fintech Powerlist sheds light on the remarkable contributions of women who are leading the charge in this dynamic industry. It underscores the importance of diversity and inclusion, not only as a moral imperative but also as a strategic advantage in driving innovation and industry growth. I'm acutely aware of my platform and am committed to advocating for greater representation, empowerment, and opportunities for underrepresented voices in the industry. Together, we can create an ecosystem that fosters creativity, collaboration, and success for all. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the incredible women who have been recognized on this Powerlist (as well as the ones not on the list). Let us continue to inspire, support, and lift one another as we shape the future of fintech and pave the way for generations to come. 💪🚀 #WomenInFintech #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #FintechInnovation #Empowerment
