Laura Heritage
OpenFinity co-founder & President
Throughout my career, I've witnessed the immense value that diversity brings to the tech and finance industries.
I want to put in place a framework that didn't exist when I was coming up through the male-dominated ranks.
With the founding of the Women in Open Finance community, we aim to create a platform where women can connect, support each other, and thrive.
We need to help the next generation of women leaders navigate and lift them up. Together, we will break barriers, foster innovation, and inspire future generations of women leaders in open finance.
