• Even if you haven’t heard of fintech, you’re probably using it for payments, banking or investments.
• Women account for just 4% of CEOs, only 18% of executive committee members, and a mere 7.7% of entrepreneurs within fintech.
• Gender inequalities in each of these combine to form what we call a “triple glass ceiling” in the fintech industry.
• The longstanding male dominance, continued privileging of masculinity, and rigid gender stereotypes in each of these sectors hinder meaningful progress and change in fintech.

So, where are all the women?

• Several interviewees noted that women typically work harder and push more to gain the same result as their male peers.
• However, ideas that get dismissed when suggested by a woman commonly gain credence when offered by a man.
• Women.

• Only 1.5% of chief technology officers or chief information officers are women – a reflection of the technology glass ceiling.
• Since people are more likely to relate to and fund entrepreneurs similar to themselves, male-led ventures are more successful.
• Successful entrepreneurs have traditionally been male, leading to a male stereotype of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial success.

What does this mean for you?

• If people build and develop products based on their own frustrations and day-to-day living, innovation can only truly be driven by diverse people with different backgrounds and experiences.
• If made aware of the gender inequalities in the industry, fintech users can be a voice for change.
• Shattering the triple glass ceiling represents an immense challenge, but we cannot be allowed to fail.

• The proposed rebuilds plan to combine five cutting-edge furnace technologies on each furnace, marking the first time that all five technologies have been implemented simultaneously.
• These technologies reduce waste heat and increase electrification, making the furnaces more energy efficient and reducing both direct and indirect emissions.
• The project provides O-I the opportunity to demonstrate the functionality of combining multiple technologies across different glass colors and container types.
• Glass is not only beautiful, it is also pure, healthy, and completely recyclable, making it the most sustainable rigid packaging material.
