Rebekah joined InsTech London in July 2021 having previously worked for almost 15 years for IHS Markit. One of the key features of Rebekah’s time at IHS Markit was a focus on proactively seeking out opportunities to progress female talent within the organization, in partnership with HR. During her time at IHS Markit, she mentored senior leadership on issues that predominantly affect women, such as the menopause and flexible working, culminating in the implementation of global awareness programs focused on both those issues and an award from TimeWise in recognition of her efforts. As Chair of Parents@IHSMarkit, Rebekah worked with HR to launch a Global Parental Leave Support program and Global Parental Leave Buddy Scheme. She was also an active mentor for the latter, as well as the Women in Tech program. Additionally, as co-lead of the Innovation Month she was able to facilitate a 50% increase in the representation of female and minority groups in the program over 2020.
