Lean In (Women In Banking & Finance)

Founded in 1980, Women in Banking & Finance (WIBF) is a non-profit organization that champions women at all levels within the UK's banking and finance sector. Its mission is to foster a more inclusive and gender-balanced industry by providing members with opportunities for professional development, networking, and mentorship. WIBF operates through a network of branches across the UK, hosting events, workshops, and awards ceremonies to celebrate female achievement and connect senior leaders with emerging talent. While sharing a similar ethos with the global "Lean In" movement, WIBF is a distinct and separate entity focused specifically on the UK financial services community.
