Name: FinTech Women: Secrets of building a great Fintech culture
Start: 2019-03-27T18:30:00Z
End: 2019-03-27T20:30:00Z
Location: Funding Circle

Company culture is very much like trust - challenging to build, easy to break and even harder to change. Focusing on it from the start is a huge advantage. This is especially true for FinTech firms who are trying to break into the Financials Services space, traditionally dominated by incumbent banks whose predecessors date back hundreds of years but whose cultures were partly responsible for one of the worst financial crashes in history. How do we avoid making the same cultural mistakes as those who came before us? How do we win customer trust without a decades-long track record? How do we attract and retain the best talent? How can we use the technological edge provided by data and analytics, to build an unbeatable culture? We’ll be exploring these questions, and many more, at our next FinTech Women panel on “Secrets of building a great FinTech culture".

The event is open to men and women, both those who are currently within and those that are interested in entering the FinTech space.

Join us from 6.30 to grab a drink and some nibbles and participate in what will be an engaging discussion between 7 - 8pm.

Please RSVP in advance as we need to register you with security. We reserve the right to refuse entry to people who are not registered.
