Purpose

Kvinder i Finans (KiF) is a forward-thinking association committed to increasing the presence of women in the financial sector, with a particular focus on mergers and acquisitions. KiF is passionate about not only attracting talented women to the industry but also retaining them by providing a dynamic network of like-minded individuals that fosters both professional and personal growth.

KiF consists of dynamic network groups that meet monthly, creating an atmosphere that encourages open dialogue, collaboration, and personal development through presentations from seasoned professionals. These groups serve as a catalyst to boost motivation and drive among women in finance, and all network groups gather once a quarter, ensuring a positive environment in the industry.

KiF is also dedicated to inspiring more women to pursue careers in finance by influencing society's need for female talent in M&A and success comes not just from diversity but also from inclusion. To achieve this, KiF members invest their time in informing and mentoring motivated female students on the requirements and benefits of working in the financial sector. The mentorship program pairs selected KiF members with students, and other members attend relevant universities at the bachelor's level.

Established in 2019, KiF is always looking for relevant sponsors to collaborate with. If you have any queries or contributions, please don't hesitate to contact us at kvinderifinans@gmail.com

Founded by Merle Victoria Price & Nina Fisker Olesen. KiF is committed to propelling women forward in finance and creating a more diverse and equitable industry.
