You might think Emma's age would be the most striking thing about her but in fact it’s her approach to work that we could all learn a thing or two from.
The 27-year-old is managing director of Wachsman, a professional services company for the blockchain industry.
“I could impact on the business, I could be a part of recruitment, I could drive the culture, I could do above my level and it wouldn’t be questioned,” she says. I learned that blockchain is the technology that supports cryptocurrencies – think Bitcoin and the like.The worlds of finance and tech can look like a boys’ club from the outside, especially at management level, but is that a fair assessment?“From my side, I’ve definitely come across instances where being a woman has not put me in the easiest of positions when it comes to succeeding and moving forward,” she says.
“The reason we don’t see more people my age in these positions – I don’t believe it’s that people my age can’t do it but there’s not enough empowerment to actually take on those roles and I believe that that’s what holding some of our legacy industries back.”
