Women in Finance 2018
Our inaugural Women in Finance ranking spotlights influential women across various sectors including the government, business, finance and accountancy, who are leaders, trailblazers and transforming their respective fields.
A few weeks ago we put forward a longlist of exemplary female leaders to our audience to vote on.
The public has spoken, and below is the list of top 20 Women in Finance – based entirely on your votes.
This ranking aims to celebrate women who wield significant influence, foster change and spearhead important teams and initiatives.
As conversations around gender pay gaps, workplace sexism and the disproportionate lack of female leaders continue, it is more important than ever to celebrate powerful women who inspire others and are instrumental in driving progress and change.
