Carrie Lewis-Hare, Head of Adoption and Communications, Ruqsana Nuruddin, Solution Design Lead, and Shweta Chawla told us about the misconception that Financial Services can’t offer innovative and interesting technology careers.
“I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of different technology roles since joining Barclays. This was primarily due to three different internal mobility’s, including an international move from Pune to Glasgow.” - Shweta Chawla
Shweta currently works as an Agile and DevOps Transformation Lead for Wealth, driving high productivity in teams through engineering best practices.
“I have been a benefactor of sponsorship from when I was supported to move from an HR Business Partner role, into Technology, an area I wasn’t previously familiar with or had experience." - Carrie Lewis-Hare
Carrie supports Barclays through communications and adoption campaigns to provide new technology for colleagues across the group. Carrie helps to unlock the value of these tools and services, by ensuring colleagues are aware of what technologies are available and how to use them collaboratively.
“I’ve worked in both financial services and technology companies, and from my personal experience, I feel that financial services are on par with any other technology company.” - Ruqsana Nuruddin
