Speaker

Profile

Ranbir K. Toor is the founder of Elevate City®, the UK's premier women's leadership network for Financial and Professional Services. Established in 2018, Elevate City addresses the critical visibility and networking gap at senior levels through its exclusive C-suite and MD communities in Banking, Insurance, and Investment sectors.

With 20+ years' experience leading Risk and Compliance executive search for global financial institutions, Ranbir identified how systemic barriers prevent qualified women from reaching leadership roles. Her solution combines:

  • Invite-only Expert Panels, featuring women leaders and fostering strategic peer connections
  • Groundbreaking initiatives like the Elevate City Papers and Talent Review
  • Partnerships with leading financial institutions

Recognized by UK Finance as the sector's top women's network and designated a UN SDG 5 Ally, by the World Benchmarking Alliance, Elevate City's work has become a benchmark for gender parity, in leadership roles within UK finance.

Ranbir is a UK Delegate to the UN Commission on the Status of Women and a Member of the Employers' Board, Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's College London.
