#31: Blockchain, crypto, DeFi and how women are innovating with Bridget Greenwood

Bridget Greenwood is the founder of The Bigger Pie, an organisation focused on supporting women in blockchain and emerging tech.  As women represent less than 10% of those involved in this sector, The Bigger Pie focus their efforts on supporting the incredibly talented and pioneering #womeninblockchain. Bridget is a firm believer in having more women involved with the design, development and deployment and decommissioning of tech solutions. Bridget has worked with different actors in the blockchain economy since 2017, both retail facing and servicing institutional clients, gaining an insight into the market place, challenges, pitfalls, regulation and breadth of projects and businesses in this rapidly evolving space. She is also co-founder with Dr Amber Ghaddar at The 200bn Club, an accelerator programme to help female led start ups match successfully with investors.
