Introducing FinTech Product Podcast - Why FinTech? Why Product? Why career advice for women? | Moni Millares, FinTech Product Leader & Podcast Host

Published on: 25th October, 2022

Today I introduce the evolution of the podcast into FinTech Product Podcast ;🎉

I cover:

  • Why FinTech?
  • Why Product?
  • Why women?
  • Who am I?

Why? Because....

1. Financial stress is at it’s peak. We as Fintechers have the responsibility to create solutions that solve customer pain points. We need to be well informed, educated and become better every day.

2. It is hard to find great product people with the experience FinTechs need to create differentiated products, at speed. We need to train them.

3. FinTech is male dominated. We need to educate and mentor women, and leverage advocates so that the next gen of Fintechers can see the difference. Less than 30% of UK's FinTech staff are women... I imagine worldwide is less. 17% of FinTech executives are women. It has to change

I'm Moni Millares, Mexican British living in Asia. I’m a FinTech entrepreneur and I build digital banks from scratch. My area of expertise is Product and I'm passionate about body, mind and spirit 🙏

Much love,

Moni 💜
