The RiseUp initiative is a global program dedicated to promoting the careers of women in financial technology and fostering inclusive leadership. The 2025 cohort brought together a remarkable group of female leaders to share their insights, experiences, and strategies for success in a rapidly evolving industry.

During the panel discussion, titled "Re-evaluate the Power of Connection – How to Leverage Relationships," Violas joined an esteemed lineup of speakers including Kriti Jain, Managing Director and Head of Digital Economy, Fintech & Platform in Corporate Coverage, APAC and Cash Sales APAC, MEA at Deutsche Bank, and Ivan Chang, alongside moderator Rachel Whelan, Managing Director, APAC Head of Corporate Cash Management, and Global Head of Payments & TFX Product Management at Deutsche Bank.

Violas emphasised the value of building authentic, intentional relationships in today's connected world. "Opportunities rarely happen by chance, they come from people who know and trust you. Networking builds that vital bridge."

She encouraged professionals, especially newcomers, to start with curiosity, not credentials. "Ask open-ended questions like 'What brought you here tonight?' to spark real conversations."

Violas also encourages people not to wait for the perfect moment. "Most people are more open than we think. Approach with sincerity, build sincerely, and grow together."
