International Women's Day
Twenty in Experian
The Twenty Women in Experian Awards (UK&I) recognise the contributions that women have made to Experian across the past 12 months.
We had an amazing 77 nominations for 2021 (with 8 women being nominated more than once and in some cases 4 times!) across all levels and business areas.
In February 2021 we announced our Twenty Women in Experian Winners. To celebrate #InternationalWomensDay we caught up with two of them, Emily Capewell and Ragini Madan, to hear about one of their proudest moments at Experian and how we can all ensure gender equality for women.
Emily Capewell (Innovation Lead – Decision Analytics)
What achievement are you most proud of from your time at Experian?
Throughout my time at Experian, I have worked with some brilliant people and collaborated with some great minds on some complex problems. I am most proud of the occasions when the work I have been leading has been adopted as best practice across the globe.
At the beginning of this financial year, I was able to work with our Principle and Lead Developer community to help drive their solution for a continuous integration and deployment pipeline into action within the UK that has realised huge effort savings for our teams and been recognised and adopted globally by Experian’s Pipeline as a Service Team.
More recently, I was part of a team that defined a remediation plan for our Service Operations and executed on commitments ahead of timescales enabling our best SLA results for 3 years whilst our approach and framework was, again, adopted as the principle framework for remediation activities across the globe.
What action can we all take to ensure equality for women?
My biggest passion is about educating the next generation of talent of what opportunities exist for them. It’s about making sure we are visible to young people, especially girls, so they have relatable role models performing in STEM roles and have the inspiration to go after their dreams!
Ragini Madan (Economics Analytics Manager)
What achievement are you most proud of from your time at Experian?
I successfully lead on an innovative technical economics solution for Experian’s delivery of an IFRS9 Credit Loss Insight prototype in 2020. The project was challenging with many unknowns!
What I'm most proud of, is the fact I overcame significant hurdles to create a viable and reusable product, which quantifies the impact of economy on the probability of default in the mortgage market. I was also able to successfully communicate complex technical concepts to the client in a meaningful way, which helped us obtain the executive sign off and successfully complete the project.
As a result of this success, I have been recognised as one of the few IFRS9 economics experts in the UK organisation and have been working on developing various other similar lending product solutions using economics insights.
What action can we all take to ensure equality for women?
I think Experian provides a good workplace environment with many experienced women in leadership roles. I think we can draw from each other’s experiences by being part of the mentorship program – which provides an opportunity for women in Experian to be mentored by their senior role models and learn from their experiences.
