The Citywealth IFC Power Women Top 100
The Citywealth IFC Power Women Top 100
updated 2025
The Citywealth IFC Power Women 100 is an A-Z list of influencers and professionals working around the financial services industry in International Financial Centres. The list has been compiled from a number of sources. Part of the research was generated by the 2013 edition of the Citywealth Leaders List. This was combined with recommendations from leading figures in the financial services industry to widen the list to include women of influence in the major IFCs. We would like to thank those who contributed to the research.
Celebrating women in government, private wealth, private client and philanthropy
The list focuses on influencers as well as professionals and celebrates powerful women from diverse backgrounds in government, private wealth, private client advisory and philanthropy across the international financial centres. It recognises women of achievement who are opinion formers, helping to promote business excellence in their home jurisdiction and consolidating the reputations of the financial services industry globally
Some people have left the industry or retired so names have been removed from the original list.
