Who Is a FinServ Innovator?

When I started my career, I struggled through internet searches and industry-specific events to find “my tribe” — those people who understand the professional journey and can help navigate the path to success.

I looked all over to find community. Along the way, I was introduced to someone who I identified with and welcomed me into her network. She served as my mentor and was instrumental in giving me confidence to make meaningful connections, actively engage in discussions, and bounce ideas off of experienced professionals and senior leaders to get invaluable feedback.

This is the power of community. It’s about finding your people. And that’s our hope for our new FinServ Innovators community — to be a place for financial services professionals to learn new skills, connect, and grow their careers.
