Inspiring speakers at next Women in Open Banking Meetup announced | Open Banking Expo

Women in Open Banking Meetup to Discuss Leadership Lessons

Open Banking Expo can reveal that speakers from Equifax and Token.io, and a strategic advisor in the data and technology space, will discuss the leadership lessons they have learned during their respective careers, at the Women in Open Banking Meetup on 16 October.

Speakers

• Nadia Strone, Vice President, Human Resources at Equifax
• Tatiana Okhotina, Chief Financial Officer at Token.io
• Alina Timofeeva, Founder and CEO of Unique.Bold.You

During the panel debate, moderated by Ellie Duncan, Head of Content at Open Banking Expo, Women in Open Banking members can expect to hear stories of personal growth from the panellists, including what it has taken them to get to where they are, and the mistakes made along the way.

The panellists will reveal the “trade-offs” that are needed to rise through the ranks, and how today’s future leaders can follow their example by balancing the personal with the professional, while bringing their authentic selves to the workplace to create tangible business impact.
