   Kate Bohn #Herstory

   There are very few people that will talk as candidly about their own feelings and experiences so personal and it's something to admire and recognise. But it's important to remember that you don't feel pressurised to tell your story in the same way. This #HerStory is about a woman who looks so sorted again from the outside, you'd worry about connecting with her on Linkedin. But she's a real woman doing amazing things, coping with real-life, motherhood, illness, failure and success. But still curious, still looking forward and looking for a place to have self-expression and get on with it. Kate has given us a recipe about how you can support other women. She also left us with some brilliant takeaways and advice around setting boundaries. About Kate: Kate Bohn has had the "epitome of a 'squiggley career". Having pursued a career in art and academia, Kate then moved into software houses, tech and financial services, finding her place in a digital world "that is not overly populated with individuals who are creative, lateral thinking and female!" Kate is a regular speaker and advocates for diversity in all its forms, and a mentor across the talent pipeline. She is a founding member of the market's 'Balance' network and has been actively involved in ensuring gender equality and opportunities for women in the fintech industry. She is passionate about driving positive challenge and transparency, supporting robust, human-centred outcomes, be that through co-founding a ground-breaking industry utility 20 years ago or engaging with start-ups looking to solve the problems faced within the financial services industry as a whole. Kate is currently contributing as a Co-Editor for a project around fintech leadership and has completed a human-centered design course with Central St Martins for a femtech idea that she has had "bumping around in my brain for the last decade". In 2020, she co-created a community of multi-industry senior women in technology and FS practitioners, organising get-togethers that offer a psychologically safe and supportive environment in which to share common challenges and feel a little less lonely. The longer-term vision for Kate is to bring the communities collective experience together, understand common pain points and create powerful advocacy for change around the barriers.
