Held at Tao Downtown in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking District, the event convened nearly 400 market professionals from institutional investment firms, hedge funds, trading desks at the biggest global banks, exchanges, trading platforms, and technology providers. The awards methodology was as follows: Markets Media’s editorial team identified the best candidates via interviews with the senior market participants who are their colleagues, customers and competitors, as well as online submissions from Markets Media’s subscriber base. From there, consultations with our WIF Advisory Board winnowed the field to the most deserving recipients, and final internal deliberations hammered out the winners. ![](https://articles.marketsmedia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/wif-intel-google-cloud-May-12-2022-09-31-01-00-AM.jpg?width=600&height=200&name=wif-intel-google-cloud-May-12-2022-09-31-01-00-AM.jpg) **Congratulations to the winners!** | Crystal Ladder | Andrea Leung, Deutsche Bank | | --- | --- | | Excellence in Trading Platforms | Kristina Fan, 7 Chord | | Excellence in Regulation | Joanna Fields of Aplomb Strategies | | Legal Eagle | Vivian Maese, Latham & Watkins | | Excellence in Hedge Funds | Kimberly Jensen, Citadel | | Excellence in Exchange Data | Lynn Martin, ICE Data Services | | Excellence in Leadership | Karen O’Connor, trueEX | | Rising Star | Maryse Gordon, UnaVista (an LSEG company) | | Rising Star | Carolyn Harbaugh, Credit Suisse | | Rising Star | Emiko Kamoda, Goldman Sachs | | Rising Star | Olivia Kelly, OpenDoor Trading | | Rising Star | Christina Landry, trueEX | | Rising Star | Kristin Lyons, Cowen & Co. | | Rising Star | Amanda Meatto, Tradeweb | | Rising Star | Lauren Rauch, Chicago Trading Company | | Rising Star | Natasha Shamis, Liquidnet | | Rising Star | Meghan Suriani of INTL FCStone Financial | | Rising Star | Gabriela Wilewska, Citadel Securities | | Rising Star | Vivian Yiu of Cboe Global Markets | | CIO of the Year | Cindy Finkelman, FactSet | | Excellence in Blockchain | Andrea Tinianow of the State of Delaware | | Excellence in ETFs | Samara Cohen, BlackRock | | Excellence in Fixed Income Trading | Thea Williams of T.
