According to Karine Bianciotto, Head of DSI Corporate at Natixis in Portugal, the path to inclusion lies in mentorship, which helps develop skills valued in the IT sector, a field where women stand out for their resilience, management ability, multitasking, sensitivity and strong interpersonal skills. While more women are entering STEM fields, the real challenge lies in retention, progression and recognition. And that’s where mentorship makes a difference. Not as a symbolic gesture, but as a real catalyst for confidence, growth and opportunity.

According to Isabel Duarte, Salesforce Team Manager at Natixis in Portugal, instead of merely providing financial donations, which are often not enough, corporate volunteering empowers organizations with knowledge and skills that can transform their activities. She believes that companies should offer time and flexibility to recognize the effort and create an environment that encourages these initiatives, as this boosts employees' motivation, sense of purpose, and belonging.

He also emphasizes that growing without losing our Purple essence is a non-negotiable commitment, especially during a phase of accelerated expansion, such as our arrival in Lisbon.

David Leal, Head of IT Payments and Analytics at Natixis in Portugal, believes that innovation is transforming payment systems and driving both financial inclusion and environmental responsibility. From the rise of Account-to-Account (A2A) payments to the reduction of physical materials like cards, he emphasizes that technology can democratize access to payment systems while supporting a more sustainable and resilient economy.
