What advice would you give to women
that are starting out their careers,

{{00:00:35}}
where to find a support, mentorship,
and promotion where they live?

{{00:00:39}}
I think that starting out in
your career or really any part

{{00:00:43}}
of your career, I think you
have to embrace the pivot.

{{00:00:47}}
Everything is fast, moving.

{{00:00:49}}
Everything is very, you know, based
on the latest trend, the latest data,

{{00:00:54}}
the latest metric, and you've gotta be
flexible and you've gotta be willing

{{00:00:58}}
to maybe go out on a limb and try
something or do something in your

{{00:01:00}}
company that maybe isn't what you
exactly signed up for, but it gets you

{{00:01:05}}
into the right it gets you into the
right place to be around people that

{{00:01:10}}
need to see you and see your value,
but it also gives you the experience.

{{00:01:14}}
You've got to move
around the organization.

{{00:01:16}}
You can't, I wouldn't suggest that
you just stay in one particular facet

{{00:01:20}}
of it because you want to have a
wider view of the FinTech ecosystem.

{{00:01:25}}
So I would say definitely, you know, be
willing to transition and make changes.
