Washington, D.C., January 28, 2015 - The Institute of International Finance today announced the IIF Future Leaders Class of 2015.
"The future of our industry will be determined, in part, by those who lead it," said Tim Adams, president and CEO of the IIF. "Our Future Leaders program is meant to bring some of the brightest emerging talent in the industry together with current leaders to discuss pressing issues and to learn from one another."
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.
Participants, who are 40 years old or younger, 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 2015 will gather in Istanbul the second week of February on the eve of the IIF's G20 Conference and again in early June before the Institute's North America Financial Summit in New York.
