☀️ Summer has finally arrived in Berlin and at Solaris we celebrated it with our Solaris del Mar Summer Party 🌊 at our beautiful office location. Solarians were invited to a barbecue on the rooftop and different activities like Karaoke, a Pub Quiz, and a Costume Contest following the theme. Everyone had a great night sharing laughters and building connections. 👏 A big thank you to all Solarians that put in hard work to make this great event possible. We are looking forward to the next party! | Ramona Simion-Scheindt (she/her) | Baha Jamous | Francesco Mancuso | Brian Lemke | Peter Hüftlein | Ewelina Kolodziejczyk | Martijn Keuzenkamp | Sandra Schaarschmidt (she/her) | Maksim Aizikovitch | D'Aro Mambu | Nuwan Angelo Herath Herath Mudiyanselage Photo credits to: Mario Hausmann #Berlin #fintech #summerparty #culture #teambuilding

👩💼 Last week Solaris’ Head of KYC Operations, Katarzyna Mrowińska LL.M attended Money20/20 as part of the RiseUp program. The Money20/20 RiseUp program promotes diversity in fintech, and supports women on their journey to leadership with the network, tools and techniques to strategically advance their career and reach new heights. Katarzyna was selected alongside 30 other women who are making a mark on fintech out of 250 applicants: “I gained valuable insights into leadership, the power of a contrarian mindset, and managing imposter syndrome. The experience was truly enriching, highlighting that Money 20/20 is not just the event about trends, technology, and fintech. It's also about personal growth and shaping who we aspire to become in the future.” 👏 Congratulations to Katarzyna for being selected! It is great to see Money20/20 and the wider fintech and financial services industry empowering women - this is something that is important to us at Solaris and Futura so it is great to see the gender gap shake up in action. | Ramona Simion-Scheindt (she/her) | Baha Jamous | Ali Close | Tain Duncan | #money2020 #riseup #riseupm2020 #m2020 #femaleleadership #womeninfintech

🎤 Earlier this week Solaris’ CEO, Carsten Höltkemeyer took to the stage at the NOAH Conference in London. Carsten sat down for a fireside chat with Marco Rodzynek where he provided a short update on all things Solaris and what makes Solaris stand out: “Solaris is perfectly positioned to partner with large corporate organizations who are looking to start their embedded finance journey but are being held back by technical or compliance capabilities.” #Noah24london #fintech #london #embeddedfinance #invest

✨ At Solaris we believe that to be successful, we must be truly diverse and are committed to fostering an inclusive, responsible and supportive work environment. It is commonly known that too few women work in fintech companies and Solaris’ Network for Women, Futura, is working to change this. As part of Futura and Solaris’ commit to creating gender-balanced teams within Solaris we are proud of share our quarterly diversity report. 📚 Read the full report on our website:  https://lnkd.in/dFfD-5ad You can also discover more about how diversity forms a part of Solaris’ Nature, People, Business approach in our 2023 sustainability report: https://lnkd.in/d2gBUbBy | Ali Close | Aurelia Frassoni | Carina Grühser | Edina Seibel | Ivana Radojevic | Namratha Patil | Ramona Simion-Scheindt (she/her) | Sharmili Kodaganti | Alena Grishcheva | #diversity #leadership #women #womeninfintech #womeninbusiness #gender #fintech
