Cristina Junqueira wants to increase female representation at Nubank to half of total roles and senior positions, from the current 43% and 30%, respectively. Just 8% of senior roles in the Brazilian banking sector are held my women. Also, the bank is hiring a head of diversity and inclusion. Junqueira said half of Argentina start-ups had no women in leadership roles and even fewer did in firms making as much money as Nubank.
