Date 08/03/2023

Marking International Women’s Day, Keisha Bell, Head of Talent Management and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at DTCC, said:  

“The financial services industry has made significant progress in improving gender parity, notably at the entry level. However, opportunities remain at improving gender proportions at senior levels, a phenomenon commonly referred to as the “leaky pipeline”, particularly for women of color and varying sexual orientations, backgrounds, and abilities (McKinsey & Co. “Women in the Workplace 2022”). The financial services landscape should focus on nurturing and retaining female talent throughout their full careers. This will help make significant strides towards achieving gender equity in our field while ensuring diverse perspectives across organizations.”
