QUOTES:
Kristy Duncan, Founder and
CEO, Women in Payments:
"Championing women is what we do at Women in Payments. We
would not be able to run this incredible awards program without the
support of Scotiabank in Canada.
Together, our aim is to provide a platform for that crucial
peer-to-peer support, which is missing for a lot of women as they
build their careers and their networks. These nominees have all
made a positive impact on the careers of countless people, both
women and men, in the payments ecosystem and beyond. We couldn't be
more pleased with this year's group of nominees. I look forward to
seeing everyone on September 18 and
19."
