OpenFin’s Mitra Roknabadi Named Vendor Partnership/Alliance Professional of the Year at WatersTechnology Women in Technology & Data Awards

At OpenFin, we are proud to play a leading role in bringing efficiency and interoperability to the financial desktop, but we can’t do it alone. Our platform is only as powerful as the vendors we work with, and to that end, we have made it a priority to forge strong partnerships that allow fintechs to make the most of our operating system while also benefiting our 200,000-person strong user ecosystem.

That’s why we are so proud to announce that Mitra Roknabadi, Vice-President and Global Head of Marketing at OpenFin, has been named Vendor Partnership or Alliance Professional of the Year at the 2020 WatersTechnology Women in Technology & Data Awards. Mitra’s efforts to engage vendors, bring them into our community and amplify the successes they experience with our platform have been instrumental to our continued growth. She’s been the driving force behind OpenFin community events and our FinJS conferences, the hugely successful event series that brings together thought leaders in JavaScript and Fintech to share insights and foster collaboration and community. In the past year, we have hosted our most-attended FinJS events to date, bringing the series to new cities like Amsterdam and Toronto in addition to New York and London.

When we launched FinJS, one of our goals was to provide a platform for voices that are underrepresented in tech, particularly women. While there is work yet to be done, there has also been remarkable progress, and the list of honorees at the Women in Technology & Data Awards is a testament to the impact that women are making within the leading firms in our space. It is an incredible honor to be named alongside them.

The awards ceremony will take place this afternoon in London, and we look forward to celebrating as we recognize women who are moving the industry forward in more ways than one. Please join us in congratulating Mitra and the other outstanding honorees!
