Omy Lawal is the Group Head of People Business Partnering & People Operations at LMAX Group. Upon joining the organization she noticed that young women didn’t have a platform to connect. As such, she pioneered the company’s first internal network, ‘Women in Fintech Network,’ which is dedicated to the advancement of women within and outside of the business. Omy’s work has also resulted in increased hiring of those who identify as women into the organization, reporting an almost fifty percent increase since 2022. In 2023, Omy spoke at the Udemy conference in Ireland, discussing the importance of a learning and development culture in organizations. She emphasized the need for inclusive learning opportunities for all, regardless of gender, race, class, or learning abilities. Omy supports the recruitment team by advocating for an inclusive recruitment process, to encourage diverse applicants. She believes in creating spaces for others and giving back to the community.
