Elevate City

Since its inception in 2018, Elevate City® has pioneered a transformative movement as the first women’s leadership network in Financial Services. Today, we proudly represent the most influential community of senior women in the industry, having hosted over 40 exclusive, invitation-only in-person events designed to inspire, connect, and empower. Our mission is bold and clear: to unite leaders so that gender equality is accelerated, paving the way for the next generation of women to thrive. Through our three dedicated Leaders’ Networks—spanning Banking, Insurance, and Investment sectors—we curate high-impact, invitation-only events that: a) Foster meaningful, career-defining professional connections (backed by LinkedIn research showing 85% of hires come through personal referrals), and b) Spotlight women’s expertise in Finance through our renowned Expert Panel events. In 2020, Elevate City was honored as the ‘premier network for women in Financial Services’ by UK Finance and recognized as an ‘Ally’ for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5: Gender Equality) by the World Benchmarking Alliance. These accolades underscore our unwavering commitment to driving progress in gender equality within the Financial Services sector. Elevate City is powered by our SDG 5 Partners—organizations deeply committed to advancing gender equality in leadership roles. Unlike traditional membership models, we are a purpose-driven community, not an individual subscription service. Our leadership network is unparalleled, comprising C-Suite executives, Managing Directors, and Directors across our three sectors, making Elevate City the definitive platform for women shaping the future of Financial Services. Together, we are not just building connections—we are building a legacy of equality and opportunity. Founder: Ranbir K Toor rtoor@gianconsulting.com
