Winners of Women in Investment Awards 2023

Now in their seventh year, the Investment Week Women in Investment Awards continue to have a vital role to play in helping accelerate the pace of change towards a more diverse and inclusive investment industry.  

This year, we were pleased to receive over 1,000 nominations from across the industry for over 800 individuals. Categories this year included Diversity & Inclusion Champion of the Year, Investment Industry Diversity & Inclusion Initiative of the Year and Mentor of the Year.    

We celebrated the achievements of our winners at a special ceremony at The Brewery in London, hosted by comedian Zoe Lyons.

Our charity partner for the evening was The Girls' Network, which has a mission to inspire and empower girls from the least advantaged communities by connecting them with a mentor and a network of professional role models who are women.

We would like to thank our judging panel, drawn from across the investment industry, for sharing their expertise to support these important awards and choosing our finalists. You can view the judges here.

We were also pleased on the night to award the Outstanding Contribution to the Industry Award to Anne-Marie McConnon.
