Markets Media Group is pleased to present the finalists for the 2021 U.S. Women in Finance Awards.

Award nominations were especially strong and deep this year, which is reflected in our list.  

The seventh-annual program will be held virtually on Thursday, November 18, at 4:30 pm New York time. 

As per usual, last year’s Women in Finance Award winners were a distinguished group, including Nancy Reyda of BNY Mellon for Positive Impact; Mariam Osman of BlackRock for Individual Achievement; Sylvia Yeh of Goldman Sachs Asset Management for Crystal Ladder; Cheryl Nash of Tegra118 for CEO of the Year; and Lucille Protas of MacKay Shields for Lifetime Achievement.
