NEW YORK (PRWEB) MAY 15, 2024
American Banker, Arizent's leading resource for senior executives in financial services, announces its annual list of finalists for the Most Influential Women in Fintech recognition program.
Now in its second year, the award honors female leaders in the fintech community who are paving the way for the industry's future while championing critical issues like diversity, inclusion and mentorship.
"Many of this year's finalists are CEOs of sizable fintech companies, which shows the ranks of women bosses are growing in this industry," says Penny Crosman, Executive Editor, Technology at American Banker. "Female founders in the sector received more VC money last year than in 2022, but it's still less than a quarter of what their male counterparts get, so it's critical to call attention to these leaders and their contributions."
Finalists for the Most Influential Women in Fintech award are:
- Dru Armstrong, CEO, AffiniPay
- Jennifer Arnold, CEO, Minerva
- Daniela Binatti, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Pismo
