Empowering Crypto Futures

“As the digital assets industry matures, there is growing demand for companies to address diversity issues on their boards.

“Luckily, there is a lot of female talent in the crypto industry who bring fresh perspectives and are hungry for the opportunity to be non-executive directors and advisors. But women also need to make themselves known to these businesses, which is why initiatives like the C-Enable breakfast for female C-suite executives are increasingly important.

“The event at the end of January felt particularly prominent as it was announced that a series of women who were responsible for some of the biggest films last year, including Margot Robbie, Emerald Fennell and Greta Gerwig, were left out of this year’s Oscar nominations. If there is no Ken without Barbie, there should be no boards without women.

“We need better data and an open discussion. Conversations about increasing female participation at board level should be inclusive, where both men and women can contribute. We need better data on female representation at executive and non-executive board level, so we know the base level we are at. Going forward, it would be great to have more men at the table during such discussions at events like the C-enable breakfast and I am optimistic about the future of the digital assets industry and the people working in it.”
