Being Gender Smart

Building upon our panel session earlier this year to mark International Women’s Day, this follow-up session, again hosted by Clare Beardmore, our Head of Digital Transformation & Operations, furthers the discussion on the importance of embedding gender diversity across financial services, which has been slow to address the balance. Our panellists share their own experiences and perceptions of gender diversity in the industry, discuss what more needs to be done, the challenges that still exist and how firms can commit to working towards greater diversity at all levels. They also discuss the importance of allyship within the industry, and how men can empower and support their female colleagues. Panelists: Clare Singleton - Chief Executive Officer, Legal & General Home Finance Jane Benjamin - Head of Intermediary Acquisition, Mortgage Brain Andrew Montlake - Managing Director, Coreco Dr Marie-Claude Gervais - Research Director, Versiti
