FinTech's DEI Discussions #WomenOfFinTech | Lisa Leid, Fintech PR and Communications Manager

"You can't be a feminist if you are not looking at how to help other disenfranchised communities. And I know there are different strains of feminism, but I believe if you're helping one community, it has to really help the others."

In this episode of #WomenOfFinTech, we spotlight the transformative journey and insights of Lisa Leid, Fintech PR and Communications Expert and Innovate Finance power listee. 

With a passion for diversity and inclusion, Lisa shares her unique path into the financial technology industry, highlighting the importance of authentic representation, male advocacy, and the power of storytelling in driving industry-wide change. 

She delves into the critical need for action beyond dialogue to bridge the gender pay gap and elevate women and underrepresented communities to leadership positions. 

Lisa's impactful work, including initiatives like the FinTech Guide for Advancing, Cultivating and Elevating your Black Talent (in collaboration with us at Harrington Starr), showcases her commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable Fintech ecosystem.
