S2 E3 - Gender Equality & Women in Financial Services with Olga Miler of Smart Purse

"This is not a battle of the sexes in finance. It is a matter of finding a joint way in order to create a more prosperous future for all of us.” - Olga Miler

In today's new podcast episode I am delighted to welcome Olga Miler!

Olga is the co-founder of a company called Smart Purse and is a global innovation expert specialising in women and finance.  She’s been broadly recognised for her transformational achievements to change the financial services industry for women and gender equality, with features in the global press such as Sky News, BBC News, CNBC, The Financial Times, Bloomberg and The Guardian. She's won numerous awards including Inspirational Woman of the Year by City Wealth magazine and a place on the Senior Leaders in FinTech Power List by Innovate Finance.

On this podcast you're going to hear about her career at UBS and how she went on to co-found her own start-up - Smart Purse. Smart Purse offer courses and events to companies and individuals, which we discuss in this episode, and it's very exciting for those of you who work in the financial services industry, as they're improving the sector behind the scenes for women.

“There are so many other women like me out there in the shadows - well suited, well educated, brilliant women. But when it comes to the subject of money each and every one of them carries their own money story. There has to be something that I can do about this!” Olga Miler
