A former executive of Kuda Technologies Limited has filed a lawsuit in the United Kingdom, alleging gender discrimination, a toxic work culture, and wrongful termination.
Rosemary Hewat, who previously served as the fintech company’s Group Chief People Officer, claims in court documents that Kuda and its CEO, Babatunde Ogundeyi, fostered a workplace environment that marginalized female employees and penalized her for raising concerns.
Hewat’s lawsuit, filed with an employment tribunal, details allegations of gender bias, including being denied stock options under terms granted to her male counterparts. She asserts that she was dismissed in retaliation for challenging discriminatory practices within the company.
