It’s still a notably underrepresented world out there for women when it comes to banking and fintech. A report released earlier this month by Findexable found just 12% of fintech founders are women, and that just 18% of ‘banking leaders’ are women.
But we’ve began to spot some rising stars across the industry, which prompted us to shortlist some of our ‘ones to watch’ alongside some more well-known female leaders. Luminary's CEO & Founder, Cate Luzio, made the list.
After spending more than 15 years leading global banking development teams across Bank of America, JP Morgan, and finally HSBC where she managed roughly $2 billion in revenue and teams spanning more than 55 countries, Luzio decided to found her own company in New York. Luminary is a collaboration hub for ambitious women to do business and create women-led partnerships. The communal working space is specifically catered to women, offering lactation rooms, a beauty bar and complimentary wine on tap.
