As the 2020 Markets Choice Awards draws near, Markets Media is asking for help with two of our most important, highest-visibility categories: CEO of the Year and Lifetime Achievement.
Past CEO of the Year and Lifetime Achievement winners have included illustrious names from the capital markets space. Last year, Lee Olesky of Tradeweb Markets won CEO of the Year and Andrew Brooks of T. Rowe Price won Lifetime Achievement. Prior winners include Terry Duffy of CME Group, Larry Thompson of DTCC, and Barbara Novick of BlackRock for Lifetime Achievement; former CEOs of the Year include Michelle Neal of BNY Mellon Markets and Jen Nayar of Vela.
We have some incredible candidates for the 2020 CEO of the Year and Lifetime Achievement, who have done amazing things to move both their firms and the broader capital markets industry forward.
