Soh Siew Choo is Head of Consumer Banking and Big Data Analytics Technology at DBS. As one of the few leading women in technology, she is a strong advocate for gender diversity. She once said that banking technology is notorious for gender bias, and the higher up you go on the ladder, the lonelier it can be for a woman. Siew Choo understands that there’s a small pool of female mentors in banking technology, so she encourages her male colleagues, the other 80% of technology staff, to be mentors as well.
