In 2020, Best Execution and The DESK hosted the first European Women in Finance Awards, following the model of Markets Media’s long-established awards programme. It was new, and it all had to be conducted virtually, with just a few tens of nominees.
Two years on and we’ve profiled more than eighty leading women in financial services, and on Thursday, 13th October we’ll be holding our first, in-person, European Women in Finance Awards at the Four Seasons London at 10 Trinity Place.
This year we’ve been overwhelmed by the number of nominations and are delighted to present our longlist. Only a small fraction will win an award, but we’d like to congratulate everyone who has been recognised by their peers and received a nomination.
