Beyond The Capital is the podcast series from SuperTech that explores the professional services tech scene outside of London. We’re also on the AdviserTech Show podcast feed.

This is a special four-part mini-series in partnership with the Women in Finance Collective, a new network to promote and support women who work in finance and fintech across the Midlands.

In this episode, we spotlight the next generation of women shaping the future of financial services and fintech. Host Hilary Smyth-Allen is joined by Florence Govier, Product Manager at Moneyinfo, and Naya Hemans-Westerway, Business Consultant at Jigsaw Tree.

They share frank reflections on entering the industry, navigating male-dominated spaces, and why fintech continues to attract ambitious young professionals. The conversation explores their career journeys into fintech, why financial services remains a stable but evolving career path, and what it means to be the only woman in the room.

Florence and Naya discuss how confidence, preparation and community help women thrive, the reality of ageism and gender bias, and how younger women are pushing for change. They also share the importance of setting boundaries, finding role models, and using networks like the Women in Finance Collective to grow and stay connected.

In this episode of Beyond the Capital, host Hilary Smyth-Allen explores how psychology can shape better decision-making and leadership in high-pressure environments.

She’s joined by Amira Norris, Financial Services Consultant and Co-Founder of The Mentor Standard, and Julie Goddard, Leadership Coach, Business Psychologist, and Founder of The Success Architect. Together, they delve into how trust, clarity, and confidence influence the way we lead, communicate, and navigate uncertainty in a fast-changing financial landscape.

The conversation looks at why clarity matters more than confidence, how imposter syndrome became a myth, and the hidden cost of doing nothing when tough decisions need to be made. Amira and Julie also discuss the power of micro-mentoring, how to build trust within teams, and why technology’s pace, from automation to AI, makes reflective leadership more vital than ever.

From regulation to resilience, this is an honest and practical discussion on how women in finance can lead with authenticity, make better decisions under pressure, and find confidence through action, not perfection.
