Welcome back to another episode of Women of FinTech where today, Nadia is joined by the fantastic Kelly Jackson, Chief People Officer at Luno. 

As an award-winning CPO for Luno, Kelly sits on the senior leadership team with a global remit. She is strategic partner to the CEO, the board and the senior team, contributing to the overall strategy and translating this into a pragmatic people strategy using design thinking.

In this episode, Kelly illustrates the contrast of the west's perception of crypto as an investment game in comparison to other countries – i.e. those who might have a corrupt government or have a high inflation rate etc. – who view crypto as a stable, secure system of payment. 

Kelly highlights Luno's mission to de-centralise finance and teach people the power of crypto and the blockchain. Their educational approach to digital assets aims to empower individuals, no matter where they are in the world, to take control of their wealth.

Finally, Kelly touches on the challenges she faced as a single parent and how it shaped her into an empathetic leader determined to support all individuals, however their personal situations may impact their jobs.
