On Wednesday 10th October 2018, our highly acclaimed Women in Treasury New York Forum returned for the third consecutive year. This hugely popular event is one of the annual industry highlights in the USA, London and Singapore and is a firm fixture in the diaries of women and men right across these regions.
This year’s panel includes:

Christy Barwick – Treasurer, Core Scientific
Nancy Pierce – Managing Director, Global Head of Payment Programs, Global Liquidity and Cash Management, HSBC

The venue for the 2018 event was the prestigious The Pierre hotel and the Forum was attended by over 150 women and men from corporations of all sectors and sizes, together with their banking and technology partners from across the US.
Our Women in Treasury Forums are a key part of our global Women in Treasury initiative and provide an unrivalled opportunity to personally connect with some of the most successful leaders in our industry. The Women in Treasury New York Forum provides a fabulous platform for attendees to form valuable new industry contacts and hear our stellar panel of industry speakers share their insights and debate some of the key issues highlighted by the respondents of our Women in Treasury Study. This year’s vibrant and thought-provoking panel discussion was followed by a lively Q&A session, enabling guests to make their voices heard and seek advice from the panel.
