Black Monzo Presents: From Presence to Progression
Beyond Representation: From Presence to Progression 🚀
Getting through the door matters. But what happens once you’re in the room?
This Black History Month, we’re bringing together black professionals from Monzo and across the wider tech industry to talk about what it really takes to keep moving forward in your career. Because representation matters but it's only the beginning, so does what comes next?
💡 What we’ll talk about
We’ll get into the things that can make a real difference as you grow your career — including promotions, progression and how to take that next step.
🎤 We’ll also hear from people across tech about:
Building a personal brand and network that travels with you
The difference between a mentor and a sponsor and how to find both
Navigating progression and stepping into leadership
Knowing when to double down and when it might be time to pivot
Speakers will be announced closer to the event!
And it won’t all be sitting and listening. There’ll be plenty of time to meet new people, swap experiences and grow your network.
Whether you’re working towards your next promotion, thinking about a different career path or still figuring out what comes next, we hope you’ll leave with some practical ideas, new connections and a clearer sense of where you want to go.
We'll also be providing:
📸 Free professional headshots
💼 Career conversations with experienced professionals (including Monzo’s Hiring Team)
🎁 Goody Bags packed with treats
🍴 Food, Drinks & plenty of good vibes (always)
