The 25 Most Powerful Women in Banking
As always, it is important to post these top women in industry lists because I never want to hear anyone say, "Well, I don't know any powerful/important/leading women in finance." That sort of attitude trickles down into education, into conference organizing, into the media and into our subconscious - and it keeps women from seeing themselves in these roles. We'll never reach gender parity if we can't visualize what a woman in finance looks like.
So, no more excuses folks - the Wall Street Journal lays it out here:
