Viola Llewellyn Speaking Topics

FinTech, TradeTech & Innovation For Equitable Access To Finance

Building resilient investment and de-risking lending to small and informal businesses in under-served communities. I share strategies in alternative trade and finance that take into account culture in ways that credit can't and don't. With more than 20 years experience in alternative asset classes and non-correlated structured products, I share early wins and strategies for Emerging market banks and micro-finance institutions. These lessons make for an interesting review of how this applies on a global level and connect the USA to markets that are often overlooked. US Credit Unions and Immigrant communities share a lot in common and are uniquely complimentary in the areas of "curated services." I share my experiences from workshops with US Credit unions and how to connect and build revenue from local diversified groups with international or global roots.

Driving Financial Inclusion via Ethical Finance and Investment

Revolutionizing financial inclusion by removing the "individual" from the underwriting process and focusing on inventory. Trade is an under-used tool for reducing impact of Non-Performing Loans on bank Portfolios. I talk about the Regulatory impact, compliance and integration of both technology and logistics in product development to achieve this type of Financial Inclusion. I share my experiences with creating non-interest bearing products as a solution to address access to business capital

Africa & Emerging Market Investments

With more than 20 years experience in non-western markets and alternative asset classes with non-correlated structured products, I share early wins and strategies for Emerging market banks, business and micro-finance institutions. I clarify, simplify and demystify the pros and cons of global business and best practices from some of the most challenging businesses environments. There are some GREAT reasons for Americans to engage with these markets, especially when the home investment markets are not always the easiest. We all we need to diversify, but how and where?

Women, Leadership and Diversity

As a black woman born and raised in the UK and now living in the USA, I have been privileged with a rare 360 degree view of what it takes to be in tech and finance as a woman. From my early days at IBM in the 80's, building a career in HW & SW sales with Digital Equipment Corporation and part of the leadership team at Unisys corporation during 9/11, there was almost no one like me at the table. I share what I have learnt from being where "No one Expects Me to Be' and how I encourage and mentor women with these experiences.

The 'Tulle Box' -- Strategies for Women in Life

The tools and skills from our 20s and 30s no longer work in our 40s and 50s. How do you "Re-Tool?" What are the signs that you should? No one tells us what to expect in the 3rd act of our lives. This discussion helps re-build our Tool Box for the next phase. This is how to show up Aware, Equipped and Ready!
