Diversity in Fund Finance (“DFF”) hosted an evening of networking and sake tasting at Accidental Bar in the East Village last month.

Natasha Puri (Director, Lloyds and Global Chair of DFF) and Fiona Cheng (Associate, Cadwalader and Committee Member of DFF) opened the event by introducing the DFF mission, which is focused, among other things, on providing an opportunity for diverse fund finance professionals to network and build connections, as well as an open, inclusive and respectful space to connect based on shared perspectives and experiences. 

Austin Power, sake sommelier and owner of Accidental Bar, led an introduction on the three sakes on tasting before mingling with the attendees to provide tailored insight into the world of sake.

The event was the first in-person DFF event for the 2023 calendar year and saw enthusiastic attendance and participation by industry members from a range of firms and other institutions.
