FinTech's DEI Discussions · 2026-06-25 · 14 min
In this episode of FinTech's DEI Discussions, Nadia Edwards-Dashti is joined by Stacy Litke, VP, Banking Programs at Green Check Verified, for a powerful conversation about purpose, financial inclusion, leadership and creating opportunities for others. Stacy shares her unique career journey through banking, technology and the rapidly evolving cannabis finance sector, explaining how Green Check Verified is helping financial institutions provide compliant banking services to an industry that has historically been excluded from traditional financial services. She discusses why purpose became the driving force behind her career and how she found an organisation where her experience could create a meaningful impact. The conversation also explores Stacy's personal experiences as a woman working in banking and technology, from facing discrimination early in her career to becoming a leader committed to mentoring, championing and promoting other women. She reflects on the importance of succession planning, recognising talent, sharing credit, and building environments where people can thrive.
