The Institute of International Finance today announced the IIF Future Leaders Class of 2019.
“The future leaders of the financial industry will play a critical role in driving the innovation needed to support sustainable and inclusive growth in our 21st century economy.” said Tim Adams, President and CEO of the IIF. “Our Future Leaders program brings together emerging talent from across the globe to help prepare them for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.”
The Future Leaders program was formed in 2014 by the IIF’s Board of Directors to recognize young leaders within the financial industry and to foster ties between rising stars from different regions and backgrounds. The Class of 2019 consists of 39 individuals from 38 institutions. It is a diverse group from 20 countries, representing a wide variety of roles in the industry, including risk management, corporate strategy, wealth management, regulatory affairs, financial planning and wholesale banking.
Participants were nominated by their firms based on a track record of achievement within their institution and their potential, in the nominating institutions’ view, to become a future leader in global finance.
The IIF Future Leaders Class of 2019 will gather in Shanghai this June, and again in Washington, D.C. during the IIF’s Annual Membership Meeting. The IIF Future Leaders Class of 2019 includes:
