The women inspiring others in a male-dominated industry
By Justin Harper
As the founder of UK challenger bank Starling, Anne Boden wanted to prove people wrong. Women have to achieve more, work harder and be much more perfect to get the job compared to a man, she tells the BBC.
Ms Boden is also chief executive at Starling, which has grown rapidly and is now the subject of takeover talk. The experience of being treated differently because I am female only inspires me to work harder and prove them wrong, which is in part why I founded Starling, she adds.
