Key Points in our In FinTech Podcast
- Richard Lesser, EC1’s Head of Electronic Trading, Digital Assets & Fintech Software/SaaS Sales, introduces Anoushka Rayner, Head of Growth Commodities at Paxos.
- Anoushka started off trading at HSBC. Hundreds of individuals worked at HSBC, with less than 10% being women. Anoushka found trading matched her energy and personality.
- There were no female leaders around her or on the sales floor.
- However, Anoushka never found this an issue in her career and felt very supported throughout.
- A drive to move to New York threw another spanner in the works for Anoushka, and she was told time and time again she would need a degree to do this due to VISA requirements. She didn’t take no for an answer and, after some setbacks, was eventually offered a job in NYC.
- When she eventually made her way to Paxos, she was the first person to be onboarded remotely. She sees it as a good thing and feels connected to the company as a whole in the way she never did whilst in an office.
