Lander & Rogers is proud to be sponsoring the 2018 Lift Off Awards and supporting diversity in the fintech industry.
The inaugural Lift Off Awards form part of the YBF Ventures 'Lift Off' program, which was designed in partnership with the Victorian State Government. The Lift Off Awards celebrate diversity in Fintech — women, cultural minorities, and individuals and companies making a positive impact through diversity across the global fintech ecosystem.
The Awards are being hosted by YBF Ventures, a community of diverse entrepreneurs and subject matter experts who have created hundreds of disrupted technologies, and is focused on advancing Australia’s technology-focused innovation ecosystem.
Lander & Rogers will be presenting the awards for Diversity in Fintech Innovator of the Year and Diversity in Fintech Student Leader of the Year.
Lander & Rogers' Chief Executive Partner, Genevieve Collins, is on the judging panel for the Awards, which take place on 1 November.
Ms Collins said, "We are extremely proud to be supporting the inaugural Lift Off Awards, and to be celebrating achievements that recognise both the importance of diversity as well as the need to cultivate innovation and the next generation of leaders.
"YBF Ventures shares Lander & Rogers' vision for supporting the advancement of technology and the creation of innovative solutions. We believe that it's not enough to create new services and call them 'innovation' — we are focused on solving real problems that make our clients' lives easier and give them an edge in their industries.
"Fostering a diverse and inclusive working environment is a key focus for Lander & Rogers. The firm is consistently ranked highly for the number of women in the partnership, senior leadership team, and our Board — but the work does not stop there. We are committed to ensuring that we continuously support diversity through our culture and business practices".
