DEI themes - What we expect in 2027

The purpose of this discussion is to help DEI leads and those from across the business with an interest in or accountability for DEI to plan and prioritise.

Join Yasmine Chinwala, Partner at New Financial and Jenny Barrow, Senior Adviser to New Financial, as we explore expectations for 2027, as well as issues that are lurking on the horizon. Our takeaways are based on what we have heard, read and observed from many conversations with our members, conducting workshops and presentations, and analysing all the submissions from Women in Finance Charter signatories.

We will also welcome questions and comments from the audience, as well as running polls for snapshot peer intelligence, throughout the discussion.

• Yasmine Chinwala is a Partner at New Financial, running the DEI research and events programme.

• Jennifer Barrow is a part-time Senior Adviser to New Financial’s DEI programme. She runs her own consultancy practice and was previously head of corporate responsibility for the FCA.
