Women of Wirex: Crypto Career Path

Our 2021 campaign is coming to an end, and to wrap it up we turned to the women at Wirex. We created the Women in Crypto campaign to celebrate women’s achievements in the fintech, crypto and blockchain sectors, so it only seems fitting to ask the women at Wirex for their thoughts on the crypto industry.

Last week, we asked the women at Wirex what advice they had to anyone looking to get involved in crypto – you can check out what they said here. Today we’ve got the next and final instalment where we posed the question “how did you come to work at Wirex and what path did you take to get here?”

And this is what they had to say:

Maggie Lambreva, Performance Marketing Manager

The crypto and fintech industries are constantly changing and evolving, so they’re the perfect fit for anyone looking for a fast-paced career where you have the opportunity for new innovation

Sophie Morris, Copywriter

There’s a huge misconception that you need to be a numbers expert to be involved in finance and fintech, but there’s opportunities for everyone no matter your background

Francesca Cintura, Senior CRM Manager

You don’t need to have been following crypto since the very beginning to get involved in the industry, even if you’re not familiar with blockchain crypto could still be an exciting next step in your career

Amy Barker, Global Head of People

Just because the crypto sector is relatively new doesn’t mean that you need to rule it out if you have more experience working in more traditional industries

Mariia Bogorska, Technical Product Owner

There’s always the opportunity to explore something new when it comes to crypto as well as the opportunity to expand your skillset and indulge different interests

Kunbi Oshodi, Social Media Specialist

You never really know what you’re going to get out of the crypto sector, so even if you hadn’t considered a career in crypto before it might be worth taking a chance and seeing where it takes you

Diana Aparina, E-learning Specialist

There’s no one way to build a career in crypto and transferrable skills and knowledge mean you can easily move from one department to another if you’re looking to change your career path

Emily Clark, Content Specialist

The people you work with can have a huge impact on your enjoyment of your career, and everyone at Wirex is passionate about what they do which encourages everyone to put their all into their work and keeps you wanting to stick around to explore exciting new avenues

This year’s Women in Crypto campaign has been the biggest and best yet, and even though the main phase is coming to a close it doesn’t mean it’s the end! We’ll be continuing with our employee spotlights to give even more of an insight into what the women around Wirex get up to and stay tuned for 2022 when the campaign will be back in full force!
