Lara is Director, Global Digital Commerce and Head of the Women’s Impact Network (WIN) in EMEA at Fiserv. She has overseen the launch of WIN in Ireland, the UK and Poland, with Germany, Slovakia and the Netherlands launching later this year. Under Lara’s leadership the network is dedicated to building gender equality by empowering, supporting, developing and advancing the careers of women, and cultivating an environment where women are represented at every level and in every corner of Fiserv. Lara’s activities are primarily focused on building a platform for networking and career development; partnering with external organizations to support women-owned businesses; spotlighting topics previously taboo in the workplace like menopause, fertility and maternity; and funding women-specific development programs. Lara has always been passionate about empowering women in her industry and making a difference to women’s enjoyment of their work and their belief in their ability to develop, progress and thrive both professionally and personally. WIN provides a forum for women to discuss challenges and share experience without judgement, and to relate to and support one another in a meaningful way. Lara also mentors five associates at Fiserv, with the objective of making an impact on others which lasts even in her absence.
