NEW YORK, October 7, 2024 – Michelle Wilson, VP and Head of Product at Canoe Intelligence (“Canoe”), the financial technology company powering smarter alts management, has been nominated as a finalist for Markets Media Group’s 2024 Women in Finance Awards.
The Women in Finance Awards program, now in its 10th year, celebrates outstanding female talent across various finance sectors. The prestigious ceremony will take place on November 21, 2024, at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City.
Finalists and winners are selected by the editorial teams of Markets Media and Traders Magazine, two prominent U.S. financial publications, in collaboration with the Women in Finance (WIF) Advisory Board.
