Advancing leadership in technology with Women’s World Banking

Recently, Moody’s partnered with Women’s World Banking to host the “TechEquity: Women in Inclusive Tech Regulation” event at our One Canada Square office in London. Part of our ongoing partnership, this event brought together mid-to-senior-level women professionals from regulatory, policy and supervisory institutions based in emerging markets, and focused on building the next generation of leaders in the regulatory space.

Over two days, participants got the chance to further hone their leadership skills and were equipped with the knowledge and mindset needed to be at the cutting edge of technology and accelerate efforts to close the gender gap in financial inclusion through a series of panel discussions and workshops, which were facilitated by our employee volunteers. They were also assigned to cross-functional, global teams to tackle an industry challenge related to the digital transformation of financial services, where they pitched innovative ideas they could implement in their local markets to help promote financial inclusion.

By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the event catalyzed dialogue around critical issues in the sector and facilitated networking opportunities that spurred collaborations aimed at creating more inclusive technologies and policies in financial regulation. Participants left with an understanding of the latest technology risks and opportunities for women’s financial inclusion, with the program helping them build their capacity to drive innovation, influence stakeholders, and lead change in their organizations.
