Joined by honorees and guests, Pensions & Investments President and Publisher Nikki Pirrello celebrated the 2024 Influential Women in Institutional Investing at the Nasdaq exchange on Sept. 9.
Ms. Pirrello was joined by Veebha Mehta, chief operating officer of Crain Communications, the parent of P&I, interim Editor-in-Chief Julie Tatge and other members of the P&I editorial, sales and conference staff.
The list and related stories, which published online and in print Sept. 9, honored 60 women who varied in background, experience and their role in the institutional investment industry. P&I also launched the inaugural Rising Stars program, which recognized 40 women for their early impact and influence.
To be considered for IWII recognition, nominees needed to be actively employed in the institutional investing field and have a minimum of seven years of industry experience. They were required to demonstrate a measurable effect and results within both their workplace and the industry. Ideal candidates were expected to exhibit a commitment to attracting, retaining, supporting and promoting women within the industry.
P&I will hold a conference in Chicago on Sept. 12 to recognize the winners. Conference speakers and panels will explore leadership, sponsorship, entrepreneurship and closing America's retirement savings gaps.
