Markets Media Group launched the Women in Finance Awards program in 2015 to recognize accomplished and talented women across the capital markets business: buy-side and sell-side trading desks, institutional investors, wealth managers, securities exchanges, technology providers, corporate finance, venture capital firms, and fintech start-ups. Nominees are put forth by readers of Markets Media and Traders Magazine, and shortlists and winners are determined by the editorial staffs of the two platforms, in conjunction with the 20-member WIF Advisory Board.
At an event held earlier this month at the Hard Rock Hotel New York City, talented women from across the country, including Woodard, were celebrated during the eighth annual Women in Finance Awards event.
