“We want to be the most equal company in the technology sector in Latin America, who knows all over the world. We have a high percentage of women when compared to other companies, but we want to improve even more. We set this goal for the next five years and our goal is to achieve it beforehand,” says Cristina Junqueira, co-founder of Nubank, in a press statement.
