In 2020, Best Execution and The DESK organized the first European Women in Finance Awards, modeled on Markets Media’s long-established awards programme. It was new, and everything had to take place virtually, with only a few dozen nominees.
Two years later, we have profiled over eighty leading women in financial services, and on Thursday October 13, we will host our first European Women in Finance Awards in person at the Four Seasons London at 10 Trinity Place.
This year we have been overwhelmed by the number of nominations and are delighted to present our long list to you. Only a small fraction will win an award, but we would like to congratulate everyone who was recognized by their peers and received a nomination.
