47 Rising Stars from Across the Financial
Industry Also Recognized
The Women's Bond Club, the first organization in New York to
focus on women in finance, announced that Debra Walton and Reshma
Saujani have received the organization’s two most prestigious
awards. Both women were recognized at the Women’s Bond Club’s
annual gala, the Merit Award Dinner, held last night. Citi hosted
the event at the American Museum of Natural History in New York
City. James A. Forese, Co-President of Citigroup and Head of Citi’s
Institutional Clients Group, served as the keynote speaker.
Debra Walton, Chief Content Officer, Financial & Risk at
Thomson Reuters, received the Merit Award, which recognizes
outstanding professional contributions in financial services. Ms.
Walton leads a group of nearly 4,000 people with end-to-end
responsibility for setting the strategy and managing Thomson
Reuters information and analytics offerings. Prior to joining
Thomson Reuters, she held a number of senior roles in the financial
services including partner at Cantor Fitzgerald. Ms. Walton is
executive sponsor of the Thomson Reuters Women's Network and
contributes much of her spare time promoting the balanced
leadership agenda.
Reshma Saujani, Founder and CEO, Girls Who Code, received the
Isabel Benham Award, which recognizes exceptional dedication to the
advancement of women. Girls Who Code is a national non-profit
organization working to close the gender gap in technology and
prepare young women for jobs of the future. In her
groundbreaking new book, "Women Who Don't Wait in Line," Reshma
advocates for a new model of female leadership focused on embracing
risk and failure, promoting mentorship and sponsorship, and boldly
charting your own course, personally and professionally.
The event also recognized future leaders with a Rising Star
Honor Roll, which included 47 women across financial services.
“Citi views diversity as a source of strength. Attracting,
developing, advancing and retaining female talent at all levels
within Citi is very important to us. We are proud to partner with
the Women’s Bond Club to honor Debra and Reshma, along with all of
the Club’s Rising Stars on their well-deserved recognition,” said
Mr. Forese.
