The Citywealth Powerwomen Awards International took place on 5th March at the private members club 12 Hay Hill in London’s exclusive Mayfair district.
Created over fourteen years ago by Karen Jones, multi award-winning CEO and founder of Citywealth, the event highlights the achievements of individuals and companies that promote female leadership and support career progression for women in the wealth sector.
Just a few days ahead of International Women’s Day, it was the perfect occasion to celebrate women’s achievements and mark the progress they have made in the world of finance in particular.
The evening was hosted by the legendary Eve Pollard OBE, a true Powerwoman herself, who is often referred to as the First Lady of Fleet Street because of her long distinguished career in journalism. She paid special tribute to Karen’s own remarkable accomplishments, breaking into the world of finance with the creation of Citywealth – an achievement especially difficult for a woman 20 years ago.
Deborah Parker Roye, partner at law firm Ogier (Cayman), received a gold award in the Inspirational Woman of the Year category, while Cheyenna Calderon Hoaglund, senior relationship manager at NCB (Cayman) Ltd was handed over a bronze award in the Woman of the Year – Rising Star category.
Winners had been selected from a shortlist of over a hundred candidates drawn up by eleven judges, all prominent figures from the wealth industry. Additional online voting was verified by an independent third party.
Karen Jones, editor and CEO of Citywealth, said of the winners “Citywealth is delighted to have discovered a thoughtful and self-assured group in our Powerwomen winners and finalists who will prove to be role models for women joining or returning into the wealth management industry. It is a pleasure to support their work and business development with these accolades. Congratulations to all the women and companies who have been recognised in the Powerwomen Awards 2025”
Two years ago these awards were extended to the other side of the Atlantic reaching out to the inspirational women in America and recognise their achievements. Hot on the heels of the awards in London, the Powerwomen Awards USA now takes place annually in New York City, in the Deutsche Bank building overlooking Central Park, in the heart of Manhattan.
The next Citywealth Powerwomen Awards USA will take place on 13th March 2025.
