Natasha Puri

Lloyds Bank

Natasha Puri, Vice President at Lloyds Bank, has been selected as the first recipient of the Diversity in Fund Finance Award. Natasha has been the driving force behind our Diversity in Fund Finance initiative. Her contributions to this cause are too numerous to mention but it is safe to say we wouldn’t be as advanced in this initiative as we are if it wasn’t for Natasha’s selfless dedication to the cause! Not only did she found the Diversity in Fund Finance affinity group, but she also created the group’s mission and strategy. Natasha led the group’s initial focus on creating relationships with diverse students early on in their careers to build opportunities for new talent and address the current lack of diversity within the fund finance industry. As part of that initiative, she organized multiple events with Baruch College and local NYC schools where FFA members participated in a teach-in and networked with students. Natasha leads the US and EMEA diversity committee while working closely with the newly established Asia committee and has supported all of the other events organized by the diversity committee. Did we mention she also does the same for her bank where she was also recognized as an I&D Role Model! We cannot think of a more deserving individual to be the recipient of the inaugural Diversity in Fund Finance Award.
