Markets Media Group is pleased to present the 11th-annual Women in Finance Awards, to be held on November 11, 2025, at The Plaza Hotel in New York — the first time the event will be hosted at this landmark venue.

Since its start in 2015 as a luncheon, the WIF Awards have grown into a major evening program, adding new categories and honors each year, including the Instinet Positive Impact Award and the Mizuho Corporate Culture Award. What has remained constant is the core mission: recognizing and celebrating the most talented and accomplished women across the financial sector.

The program recognizes achievements across capital markets, ranging from institutional investors and broker-dealers to exchanges, technology providers, wealth managers, venture capital firms, and start-ups. Nominations are open through September 16, and we encourage readers to put forward colleagues and peers whose achievements deserve recognition.

Nominations are submitted by readers of Markets Media and Traders Magazine, and the final shortlists and winners are chosen by the editorial teams alongside  the WIF Advisory Board.

Last year’s program highlighted a wide range of achievements, with BlackRock’s Liliane Ancona receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, Deutsche Bank’s Susie Roberts recognized as a Trailblazer, and Bank of America’s Olga Czabaj-Shetty honored for Excellence in AI/ML.

Please be sure to submit your nominations by September 16 and stay tuned for more updates as we look forward to celebrating the 11th-annual Women in Finance U.S. Awards at The Plaza in November.
