UnaCash, an in-app and in-store financial services provider, celebrates the invaluable contribution of women entrepreneurs and professionals with this year’s theme, “Accelerate Action”, which serves as a call to enhance gender equality and support the advancement of women in business.
Women have increasingly taken on vital roles in the financial sector and have contributed to economic growth. McKinsey’s Diversity Matters Even More report indicates that companies with female representation exceeding 30 percent are more likely to achieve superior financial performance compared to those with less. These companies are also seen to demonstrate higher adaptability in competitive markets.
In line with this momentum, UnaCash highlights women who embody the resilience and talent necessary to thrive in the industry, showcasing their contributions and commitment to fostering an inclusive work environment.
Niña Ocillo co-founded KN Rider Helmet Trading with Kyna Benito and actively oversees daily operations in their Marikita City location. Her experience reflects not only her entrepreneurial spirit but also the larger trend of women breaking barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
Lyka Pahit, a Sales Merchant Specialist at UnaCash, offers a unique perspective to enhance the customer experience. She advocates for a strong support system in the workplace and the importance of effective leadership from colleagues.
In her role as the head of retail of Save ‘N Earn Wireless (SNE), a chain of telco retail stores known as a one-stop shop for gadgets in Bohol, Monica Jean Roldan has positioned the company as a leader in the market within the area.
The stories of Ocillo, Pahit, and Roldan illustrate the power of a supportive network and shared experiences in overcoming obstacles. It is essential to highlight the importance of collective efforts in advancing gender equality across all industries. Businesses are encouraged to foster an inclusive working environment that prioritizes career development, mentorship, and equal opportunities for women.
UnaCash honors the vital contributions women make to the financial services industry. By supporting their professional journeys and advocating for inclusive practices, this is a vital step toward empowering women and enabling their continued success.
