Cascade becomes the first sponsor of Women in Compliance, Luxembourg

Introduction

We are delighted to share a milestone for Luxembourg’s compliance community: Cascade is the first sponsor of Women in Compliance, Luxembourg. This partnership reflects our belief that progress means advancing more women into leadership, creating more opportunities to learn and connect, and building balanced leadership that reflects tomorrow. From day one, we have backed the vision launched by Karima Sioud, CAMS, and Mombaya K. Kimbulu, together with the founding team, to shape a network where women in compliance connect, grow, and lead across our ecosystem.

Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, is building a community around ethics, integrity, and professional excellence. Their mission, and their events calendar, demonstrate the energy already gathering around this initiative.

Why this sponsorship matters

Community builds confidence, sponsorship builds momentum. Our industry has long recognised the strategic value of compliance, yet the pathway into leadership has not always been equitable. By committing early, we aim to help this community scale faster: more touchpoints for mentorship, more spaces for knowledge sharing, and more platforms for emerging leaders.

Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, operates as an association led by a volunteer committee of experienced professionals in compliance, risk, and legal functions. It collaborates with organisations that stand for ethics, integrity, diversity, inclusion, and the development and visibility of female talent. This aligns directly with Cascade’s values and our day-to-day work empowering regulated firms with practical, people-centred technology.

About Women in Compliance, Luxembourg

Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, is a non-profit association, headquartered in Strassen, dedicated to promoting and supporting women working in compliance, risk, audit, legal, and adjacent fields. Its vision is a Luxembourg ecosystem where women in compliance are recognised as key actors in organisational performance, transparency, and trust.

The association curates networking events, workshops, and community programmes designed to help members connect, learn, and lead. Recent and upcoming activities highlight practical learning and inclusive community building across the year.

A launch that signals momentum

The Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, launch event took place in the heart of Luxembourg City on 30 October 2025. The evening brought together practitioners and supporters to kick-start the programme of activities that will carry the network forward.

Following the launch, Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, highlighted Cascade among its sponsors, recognising the organisations that believe in the future of the network and helped make the evening a success. We are proud to be recognised there and prouder still to contribute as the first sponsor, helping to lay foundations for the work to come.

Gratitude to the founding team and our own champions

We are grateful to the Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, founding team, especially Karima Sioud, CAMS, and Mombaya K. Kimbulu, for the invitation to support the initiative and be part of it. Their leadership and visible presence in Luxembourg’s compliance community have set the tone for a high-impact organisation.

Inside Cascade, this sponsorship was championed by Acia Baghdadi, who brought the opportunity forward with conviction. Community partnerships only work when people lean in. Acia’s energy, and the enthusiasm across our team, reflect how seriously we take inclusive leadership in compliance.

What this means for Luxembourg’s compliance ecosystem

Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, connects three essential pillars:

• Community, a space to meet peers, exchange experience, and feel part of a supportive network.
• Capability, workshops and learning designed to translate complex regulation into practical know-how.
• Confidence, visibility for women at every career stage, and a clear runway to leadership.

These pillars meet the needs we hear daily from compliance teams: stronger peer networks, practical training, and inclusive leadership pathways. The association’s focus on ethics, integrity, and the development of female talent directly supports Luxembourg’s role as a trusted financial centre.

How Cascade will support

As first sponsor, we will focus our support in three practical ways:

1. Amplifying community events: sharing platforms, participating in meetups, and helping the network reach a wider audience across regulated industries.
2. Supporting skills development: collaborating on workshops and knowledge sessions that turn regulatory change into pragmatic action.
3. Championing visibility: spotlighting stories of women leading in compliance and creating spaces for early-career professionals to learn from role models.

Our goal is simple, help Women in Compliance, Luxembourg, do more of what works, faster.
