Washington, D.C., January 23, 2018 -The Institute of International Finance today announced the IIF Future Leaders Class of 2018.
"s the financial services industry continues to evolve, it is essential that tomorrow's leaders are prepared for an ever-changing global economy," said Tim Adams, President and CEO of the IIF. "The Future Leaders program brings together some of the brightest, and most promising, talent from across the industry to learn from each other and prepare for the challenges ahead."
The Future Leaders program was formed in 2014 by the IIF's Board of Directors to recognize future leaders within the financial industry, and to foster ties between rising stars from different regions and skillsets. The Class of 2018 consists of 51 individuals from 50 institutions. It is a diverse group from 26 countries, representing a wide variety of roles in the industry, including: wholesale banking, risk management, financial planning, communications, corporate strategy, regulatory affairs, operations, and wealth management.
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.
