Lorna Martyn is Fidelity Ireland’s Regional Chair and Senior Vice President of Technology. Lorna has been with Fidelity Investments for 18 years and has held several leadership roles in Ireland and the US during that time. Outside of Fidelity, Lorna is actively involved in developing the technology ecosystem in the country and is a board member of Technology Ireland, the largest and most influential business organisation representing Ireland’s tech sector and the Irish American Partnership, which supports education and community programmes across Ireland. As a recognised advocate for inclusion and diversity, and most particularly, greater female representation in technology, Lorna has led the development and delivery of a multi-faceted program which is focused on affecting sustainable change for women in STEM within her own company, local communities, and the wider technology industry. Growing up in Ireland with five brothers, Lorna became accustomed to being the diverse voice in the conversation while developing team building and leadership skills navigating family life. Encouraged by her mother, Lorna enjoyed learning to code in her early teens which reinforces her belief today in the impact of advocates and role models. She brings that life experience and a global perspective to her everyday work at Fidelity, leading a diverse, talented team creating technology solutions that enhance the financial wellbeing of Fidelity customers. Lorna is an established advocate for female participation in STEM education and careers, and passionate about the positive power of inclusion.
