THE BUSINESS CHIEF INTERVIEW
APEX GROUP HAS EVOLVED INTO A GLOBAL PROVIDER OF DATA-DRIVEN FINANCIAL SERVICES , OFFERING AN UNMATCHED RANGE OF SOLUTIONS UNDERPINNED BY INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS
Women at the start of their careers need to hear from those who are further along in their career journey . For me , it was a female mentor at the time I jumped from senior management to leadership which had an outsized impact on where my career went next .
I try to be disciplined when it comes to devoting enough time to focus on supporting other women ; for example , working with school-age girls to explain the benefits of having a career in technology , improving financial literacy and showing them the multiple routes into the financial and tech industries , while also engaging with Apex ’ s own Women ’ s
Accelerator programme and mentoring female colleagues . It ’ s vital we don ’ t pull up the ladder behind us – and instead pass on our learnings to the next generation to show them there is a place for women in our industries .
I also believe it ’ s important that women in leadership positions give back by acting as allies to other groups whose ethnicity , age or sexual orientation may create challenges in their career . One of the key strengths of the team I have recruited at Apex Group is the diversity of thought and perspective offered by individuals with different life experiences and outlooks .
