Born and raised in the Philippines, Ina bought a one-way ticket to London without a job or flat and crossed her fingers for the best. She is now the global manager for BrightTALK's FinTech and Financial Services community which she launched herself and now has over 300,000 subscribers. She leads a team of content managers and is responsible for content strategy, speaker outreach, partner relations, audience growth, and engagement. Ina started her career in advertising and PR. Despite not having a technology or Financial Services background, has been on the Women in FinTech Power List for two years running and is a mentor for a number of start-up accelerators and the European Women in Payments Network. She has gone down the road of questioning her position in an industry that she is seemingly not a fit for on paper, and has come back out the other side with key learnings that will help others in their professional and personal lives.
