Taking "No" Isn’t an Option for Rising Stars. That’s Their Superpower.
The NEXT Awards celebrate the rising stars of financial services, women under 40, whose early achievements are already reshaping their organizations and the industry at large.
These honorees represent the future of leadership: innovative thinkers, dynamic problem-solvers, and bold professionals who are driving meaningful change. By spotlighting their accomplishments, the awards not only recognize exceptional talent but also highlight the pipeline of leaders who will define the next chapter in banking and finance.
