In celebration of International Women’s Day, we’re bringing you a special episode of IFA Talk, the weekly podcast from IFA Magazine. This time, we’re shining a well-deserved spotlight on the incredible contributions of women in financial services.
Join Jenny Hunter and Sue Whitbread as they sit down with Yasmina Siadatan, Chief Revenue Officer at Dynamic Planner – and winner of The Apprentice back in 2009! Yasmina shares her thoughts on gender equality in financial services, the progress made, and the challenges that remain in helping more women step into leadership roles.
The conversation explores what International Women’s Day means to Yasmina and why it matters across all professions. She reflects on the growing presence (or not in some cases) of women in leadership roles within financial services, the impact of role models and mentorship, and the advice she would give to her younger self.
With this year’s theme of #AccelerateAction, the discussion also focuses on the practical steps businesses and individuals can take to promote diversity and inclusion beyond just one day of recognition.
This engaging and thought-provoking episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of financial services and the role of women in shaping it.
