*WOMEN OF THE FUTURE PODCAST – KINDNESS & COURAGE: MEN AS ALLIES*     It’s the turn of guest number five on our brand-new Women of the Future podcast mini-series – conjured up by the wonderful Pinky Lilani herself - founder and chair of the Women of the Future Programme it’s awards and initiatives.   We’ve called it: ‘Kindness & Courage: Men as Allies.’ Over the next few weeks, we will be joined on this podcast by prominent male figures from the world of business, entrepreneurship, tech and more, as we delve into the nuanced world of male allyship. Defined as the consistent and intentional efforts by men to support and advocate for gender equity and inclusion. It’s not often that I get to welcome a ‘Sir’ to the podcast, let alone one who was entrusted by the government to conduct a Review into the UK’s Fintech opportunities. He’s an entrepreneur, former CEO, non-executive director at the Bank of England, and Trustee of the Royal Foundation - amongst several other prestigious roles and accolades. It’s an absolute pleasure to welcome Sir Ron Kalifa to the Women of the Future Programme podcast this week.   ------------------------------------------------ The Women of the Future podcast is made in conjunction with the Women of the Future Programme a platform built to unlock a culture of kindness and collaboration among leaders, as well as support and celebrate the successes of women.
