In recognition of International Women’s Day, Hayfin’s Global Women’s Initiative hosted a panel discussion centred around the theme of Empowerment.

The event was moderated by Gina Germano, Portfolio Manager and Head of Europe High-Yield & Syndicated Loans at Hayfin, and attended by guest speakers: Erika Tikka, Head of External Fixed Income at Keva; Laura Coady, Head of European Securitised Markets Group at Jefferies; and Marieke Van Dijk-Van Kamp, Head of Private Markets at NN. The women shared their career experiences in both the UK and Europe, reflected on progress made to date, and discussed what more can be done to facilitate an inclusive workplace to better attract and retain female talent across all levels of seniority.
