In this episode of FinTech’s DEI Discussions, Nadia is joined by Vanessa Neal, Head of Product Compliance at Elavon Europe, to explore why businesses need to look beyond traditional career paths and recognise the value of transferable skills, curiosity and different perspectives.
Vanessa shares her own unconventional journey into banking and discusses why previous industry experience shouldn’t always define someone’s potential. From problem-solving and stakeholder management to communication and curiosity, they explore the skills that can cross industries and open the door to successful career pivots.
The conversation also looks at the importance of creating environments where people feel comfortable speaking up, asking questions and challenging the way things have always been done. Vanessa shares how collaboration, recognition and giving people genuine opportunities can help individuals grow while bringing new thinking into businesses.
Because building more inclusive workplaces isn’t simply about who gets through the door. It’s about looking wider, recognising what people can bring and giving them the opportunity to show it.
