The class consists of 67 rising stars from 66 financial institutions around the world.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Institute of International Finance (IIF) announced today the IIF Future Leaders Group Class of 2025. Participants were nominated by their firms based on a track record of achievement and their potential to become leaders in global finance. The 2025 cohort represents the 12th class of participants to join the Future Leaders Group. Upon completing the program, they will become members of a distinguished alumni network comprising more than 560 members.
“The IIF Future Leaders Group provides participants with the opportunity to develop essential leadership skills and share insights with their peers from around the world,” said IIF president and CEO Tim Adams. “In a year marked by a political ‘changing of the guard’ around the world, rising levels of global debt, and evolving geopolitical risks, we hope that this program will provide vital preparation needed for the next generation of leaders to navigate the uncertainty of a shifting landscape. I look forward to working with my team to support their development throughout this journey.”
The Future Leaders Group was established in 2014 by the IIF’s Board of Directors to recognize individuals with high leadership potential, and to foster connections between its members’ rising stars from a diverse set of countries and backgrounds.
Participants will attend IIF-hosted events designed to introduce them to the big ideas and topics that will drive the future of the finance industry. The goal is to spur innovation and fresh thinking beyond their day-to-day responsibilities and offer them the rare opportunity to develop a close network of global peers. This year, the class will gather in Brussels in March before the IIF’s European Summit and again in October alongside the IIF Annual Membership Meeting held in Washington, D.C.
The Class of 2025 consists of 67 individuals from 66 IIF member institutions. The group represents 34 countries and a wide variety of functional areas including corporate banking, asset and wealth management, investment banking, technology, sustainable finance, and regulatory and public affairs.
