Awards

Each year at its New York, London, and Hong Kong galas, 100WF celebrates successful industry leaders who are recognized to have made specific achievements in line with the organization’s mission. We also recognize organizations that are driving forward and shaping the future of women in the finance industry.

Industry Leadership Award

This award recognizes extraordinary women who have shown leadership in the finance and alternative investment industries. Honorees demonstrate talent, business ethics and a passion for investing that define our industry’s standards of excellence and have been pioneers in some aspect of the business, influencing a large number of individuals in our field. We typically give three awards each year, honoring women in the Americas, EMEA and APAC.
