Get set for 2017 INFINZ Awards
Excellence in 14 categories of financial services will be recognised tonight at the annual INFINZ Awards dinner, being attended by more than 800 guests in the Langham Hotel.
An Emerging Leader Award will be presented for the second time. This is part of the INFINZ Emerging Leaders programme for members in their 30s.
The objective is to assist those with subject matter expertise to move into senior ranks as partners of law or accounting firms, chief financial officers and chief investment officers.
This will also be the second year in which INFINZ has inducted a Distinguished Fellow — in 2016 this accolade went to Sir John Anderson KBE. INFINZ is grateful to all the sponsors of the INFINZ Awards and acknowledges the New Zealand Herald as Media Sponsor and the Herald’s The Business as sponsor of the Institutional Banking Innovation Award.
Extended coverage of the Awards will be provided in The Business on Friday May 26. The annual INFINZ one-day conference, with a theme of “Transform — Shaping Tomorrow Today”, will be held in Auckland at the ANZ Viaduct Events Centre on November 2.
Corporate clients, fund managers, bankers, professional services leaders, chief financial officers, treasurers — wherever they come from in the financial markets ecosystem have this in common: They live in a time of profound change, where tomorrow belongs — not to those equipped for conditions that no longer exist, but to those who are prepared to listen, learn and transform.
The event brings together world- class speakers, including:
Senior Partner, McKinsey, who will speak on the future of our region.
Governance leader, speaking on environmental, social and corporate governance trends.
Chief Investment Officer, NZ Super Fund, on how major investors are responding to climate change and implications for corporate strategy.
Executive Vice-President and Chief Economist of Northern Trust, a US$1 trillion fund manager, and former Head of Risk at the Federal Reserve, speaking on geopolitics and the global macroeconomy.
