Instinet Positive Change Award: Philanthropy

04.18.2020

The 2020 Markets Choice Awards are almost here!

We’re looking for input on some of the most important and unique categories in the MCA program: the Instinet Positive Change Awards.

The Instinet Positive Change Awards recognize achievements that havefar-reaching impact in three areas: Visionaries; Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging; and Philanthropy. The idea is to showcase individuals and firms who go beyond excellence at their day jobs — those who are also agents for positive change in the world around us.

In the 2019 Markets Choice Awards, Instinet Positive Change Award winners were Jerome Pustilnik, co-founder of Instinet, for Visionaries (posthumous); BNP Paribas for Diversity & Inclusion; and Bryan Harkins of Cboe Global Markets, for Philanthropy.

We’re starting with Philanthropy. We ask you, dear readers: who in capital markets demonstrates support for charitable causes in an extraordinary and/or influential way? 

It's been a month since we had our Women In Finance Awards in New York City at the Plaza! Take a look back tab some moments, and nominate for our upcoming awards in Mexico City and Singapore here: https://www.marketsmedia.com/category/events/
