AN EMBRACED INITIATIVE
Capital Group's managing director Vlasta Gregis (pictured), who will be one of the Awards' judges, says:"For a woman, achieving acclaim in the world of finance entails the defiance of deep-seated preconceptions that can only be overcome by those with real character and expertise. This requires a great deal of dedication, determination, and — above all else — passion.
"The Women In Investment Awards represent one of those rare occasions when women, who are often unaccustomed to celebrating their own successes, have the chance to enjoy the visibility they deserve and showcase their value and accomplishments. I am proud to be a part of this team of professionals who have been called upon not to judge, but rather to identify those of our colleagues who, because of their experiences, can serve as sources of inspiration for all women who wish to take on the challenges of the world of finance."
Sara Silano, managing editor at Morningstar Italy, also part of the judging panel, comments: "I am delighted to be a judge at these Awards. It's a great opportunity to stress the value of gender-diverse team and encourage company to be more gender diversified. Many studies show what it means in term of diversity of opinions and quality of corporate leadership. Gender diversity doesn't begin and end in the corporate board: companies must be actively supporting women throughout their careers, so they can advance into senior roles. Showing best cases can give a new perspective to an "old issue", so I encourage women to participate or nominate their peers."
