Markets Media Group is delighted to present the seventh annual European Women in Finance Awards (EWIFA), which will take place in October2026 in central London, to recognise the most talented and accomplished women across the European financial services industry: including buy-side and sell-side trading desks, asset and wealth managers, bankers, securities exchanges, technology providers, corporate finance, venture capital firms, and start-ups.

In 2025, winners included Bianca Gould, head of fixed income and equities EMEA at BNY; Nathalie Ruiz, head of equity sales at Euronext; Pooja Rohra, director of FX EMEA and Americas business development at Citadel Securities; Alexandra Roby, head of equity sales UK & Ireland at SIX Swiss Exchange; and Elke Wenzler, head of the multi-asset trading desk at MEAG, amongst many others.

The Awards are supported by a uniquely comprehensive content structure designed to showcase and celebrate the winners: including interviews, videos, retrospectives and much more – distributed via a dedicated section of the Markets Media website with the successes shared across the Markets Media empire.

Our 2026 EWIF Awards are set to be our biggest and best yet. Held at a central London location and supported by an advisory board of some of the region’s most senior and highly respected women from across the industry, the event will provide an unrivalled opportunity for networking, celebrating and supporting diversity across the financial markets.

The 2026 event will follow the same theme of recognising individual women for Excellence in Leadership, Buy-Side Trader of the Year, Rising Star, Trailblazer, CEO of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, the Instinet Positive Impact Awards and many more.

Markets Media Group looks forward to welcoming you to the EWIF awards this year.
