Jo Phillips – the woman behind the women
- Keynote:
The unseen load: what’s really holding women back
Jo Phillips, founder of The Woman Behind The Women, exposes the hidden load women in fintech carry—imposter syndrome, bias, and the pressure to stay small. Through bold storytelling, sharp visuals, and hard data, she challenges the audience to see the system clearly—and start rewriting the rules. This keynote is a rallying cry for visibility, voice, and unapologetic leadership.
