We are honoured to announce a new partnership with The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (The CISI) to launch the CISI Board Readiness Programme, a structured pathway helping CISI’s global Chartered Members and Chartered Fellows prepare for board, non-executive director (NED) and portfolio careers. The CISI’s Royal Charter signals the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and governance, exactly the expertise fintech and financial services boards need at the top table. Board readiness is a natural extension of the CISI Chartered designation, and one CISI is formalising for the first time. The new programme is built on our Flagship Board Programme, the fintech sector’s first board-specific pathway to NED, Chair and Fractional Executive appointments. Delivered over three months, it combines on-demand training with live faculty-led sessions, Pop-Up Boards alongside practising fintech CEOs, board CV and interview coaching from specialist headhunters, and direct introductions to leading executive search firms. Participants draw on FINTECH Circle’s global community of more than 260,000 fintech and financial services professionals. We look forward to work with the fantastic CISI team led by Tracy Vegro OBE, Chief Executive. Thank you to David Hare, Dilwar Hussain Chartered Marketer, and Lora Walsh Benson, Chart.PR MCIPR 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eMjK9DPw #CISICommunity #CISIBoardReadiness #CISIFINTECHCircle #FinancialServices #Fintech

FINTECH Circle's Chair and Founder, Susanne Chishti, has been named to Computer Weekly's Most Influential Women in UK Tech 2026 Longlist. The timing matters. On 31 March 2026, Susanne launched the FINTECH Circle Board Programme - billed as the world's first fintech-specific board programme - to prepare senior leaders for chair, NED and board advisor roles across the sector. Her recognition and the Programme point to the same goal: more experienced women in the rooms where fintech governance decisions get made.
