Equalifi is proud to present the 6th edition of the Women in Finance Summit (WIF 2025) — an exclusive, by-invitation gathering of senior women leaders driving meaningful change across the financial services industry.
WIF 2025 is a focused platform for high-impact conversations and peer networking. By bringing together a select group of influential women from banking, asset management, fintech, insurance, and allied sectors, the event facilitates trusted dialogue and collaborative insight-sharing on leadership, inclusion, and innovation.
This curated experience is part of Equalifi’s global Women in Finance Special Interest Group (SIG) initiative, committed to accelerating diversity and amplifying women’s leadership across the finance ecosystem.
Despite progress, women continue to hold just 24% of senior leadership roles globally in finance. Yet, diverse teams consistently outperform their peers—by over 30% in profitability and decision-making. The case for inclusion is clear: it not only enhances business performance but also strengthens innovation, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
Equalifi recognises the need for a dedicated platform that addresses these disparities and brings together women leaders who are actively shaping the future of finance. Rooted in this conviction, WIF 2025 aims to amplify voices, deepen networks, and build a more inclusive and equitable financial sector.
Through candid conversations and peer-driven engagement, this initiative strengthens leadership pipelines and fosters long-term impact.
