SILICON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
F2 Strategy, a wealthtech management consulting firm serving complex wealth advisory firms, announced today it has partnered with Girls Who Code, the acclaimed non-profit working to close the gender gap in technology to support the organization’s mission of changing the face of what a programmer looks like today and in the future.
Since its inception in 2012, Girls Who Code has trained 450,000 girls from elementary school through college -- half of whom are Black, Latinx or low-income -- how to code through a variety of programs. Due to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization created the Code@Home program last spring, allowing students to access coding programs from anywhere and to complete them at their own pace. These activities include a Women in Tech spotlight that helps the girls strengthen their personal identity and a real-world impact component to help girls connect the activity to an issue they care about in their community.
“Increasing gender diversity in fintech and, more broadly, financial services is deeply important to us. By partnering with Girls Who Code we can help build the next generation of fintech professionals to be more representative of our overall population,” said Liz Fritz, Co-Founder, F2 Strategy. “Girls Who Code has done amazing work on this issue, and we're honored to help their team to continue making an impact on the lives of young women around the globe.”
Partnering with organizations like Girls Who Code aligns with the goals F2 Strategy set forth six years ago when it was launched by co-founders Doug and Liz Fritz. In 2016, F2 Strategy set forth its own objectives for growth: to hire and develop diverse, creative, humble experts in their fields of work. The company has now grown to include 23 employees who serve a variety of clients in the registered investment advisor (RIA), wealth, bank and trust, and family office arenas with their best-in-class technology and consulting services.
