January 24, 2022

Class consists of 55 rising stars from 53 financial institutions around the world.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Institute of International Finance (IIF) announced today the new IIF Future Leaders Class of 2022. Participants were nominated by their firms based on a track record of achievement and their potential to become a leader in global finance.

“The past two years have taught us many things including how essential global cooperation and exceptional leadership are to tackle the world’s most urgent issues,” said IIF President and CEO Tim Adams. “We look forward to welcoming the 2022 cohort, which includes some of the finance industry’s best and brightest from around the globe, as we as an industry think critically about how we can stave off the worst effects of an ongoing pandemic and surmount challenges such as the transition to a net zero economy and thrive during a time of great digital transformation.”

The Future Leaders program was established in 2014 by the IIF’s Board of Directors to recognize the next generation of outstanding individuals with high leadership potential, and to build connections between rising stars from different regions and backgrounds.

Participants will attend IIF-hosted events designed to introduce them to the big ideas and topics that will drive the future of the industry. This will spur innovation and fresh thinking beyond their day-to-day responsibilities and affords them the rare opportunity to develop a close global network of peers.

The Class of 2022 consists of 55 individuals from 53 IIF member institutions. It is a diverse group from 30 countries, representing a wide variety of functional areas, including public policy, corporate strategy, macroeconomic research, legal affairs and digital banking and innovation.
