Markets Media Group is pleased to announce finalists for the 6th Annual Markets Choice Awards: Women in Finance event, to be held on Thursday, December 3, 2020.
This virtual ceremony follows our successful European Women in Finance Awards held in October, and our Women in Finance Asia Awards held in September.
Markets Media’s WIF program recognizes and celebrates the most talented and accomplished women in multiple categories across finance. WIF nominees come from buy-side and sell- side trading desks, institutional investors, wealth managers, securities exchanges, technology providers, corporate finance, venture capital firms, start-ups — really any area within the financial sector.
WIF nominees are put forth by readers of MarketsMedia.com and TradersMagazine.com, and shortlists and winners are determined by the editorial staffs of the two platforms, in conjunction with the WIF Advisory Board.
