Our D&I Commitment

WE’RE COMMITTED TO BE TRULY DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVITY

Our dream team is global, with members hailing from the UK, USA, India, Brazil, China and Ireland. Bringing an array of backgrounds and perspectives into every meeting results in enriched innovative ideas and solutions, which is what we want. We also believe that those traditionally underserved by the lending industry deserve a seat at the table and our fairer predictive models will support this goal.

This will ensure that the financial system is equitable and accessible to all.

While we’ve made strides internally to championing D&I, we recognise there is much more to be done. Vesta Insights is dedicated to growing, listening and implementing practices that promote inclusivity and pushing boundaries for those with less of a voice.
