Last night, the brightest names in financial services were highlighted during the prestigious 2025 InvestmentNews Women to Watch Awards. A collection of the most celebrated women in the wealth management industry congregated at Tribeca 360 in New York City to receive recognition for excellence, leadership, and lifetime achievement.
The Women to Watch Awards, now in its 6th year, is the annual event which recognizes the women who are breaking boundaries, fostering inclusive workplaces, and empowering the next generation of women in finance.
Margaret Starner, honored with the Alexandra Armstrong Award for Lifetime Achievement, presented by Armstrong herself, offered this perspective on a successful career that still has additional chapters to be written:
"We all work hard at living longer. People are living longer and staying healthy longer. But we all dread aging. I want to change that perspective and conversation to looking forward to aging. Since you're going to get 15 to 24 years of life, why not appreciate it? Enjoy it!"
Congratulations to all the women who were nominated and celebrated in NYC last night. You can find the full list of 2025 awardees here.
