DE&I: Changing Finance for Good (30 min)

4:30 - 5:00

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: The CLA is proud to host the DE&I in Fintech Roundtable. We believe that the industry needs to apply the same innovative thinking and commitment to solving the problem of DE&I as we do with our products and services. We need to make a conscious effort to change the balance of visible inequity in the sector with the entrepreneurial vigor we use to build our companies. Learn more about how to build an authentic climate of inclusion at this panel.
