100 Women in Finance Expands to its 33rd Global Location in Luxembourg

Jan 23, 2025

(NEW YORK, JAN. 23, 2025) — 100 Women in Finance (“100WF”), a global non-profit organization for professionals who work in the finance industry, announces its further expansion to 33 locations with the addition of Luxembourg.

100WF’s mission is to build a more diverse and gender-equitable finance industry by promoting diversity of thought, raising visibility, and empowering women to achieve career success. Its guiding principle, Vision 30/40, aims to increase the percentage of women in investment and executive leadership roles to 30% by 2040.

With the addition of Luxembourg, 100WF will extend its reach to pre-career women and finance professionals at all career stages across various sectors of the finance industry, with members having access to 100WF’s global network and programming, designed to foster empowerment and drive meaningful change.

“We’re excited to launch 100 Women in Finance in Luxembourg, one of Europe’s top financial hubs,” said Kellan Brown, chief operating officer and chief development officer of 100 Women in Finance. “While Luxembourg has seen stable progress in women’s representation in senior finance leadership roles, the numbers remain significantly lower than their male counterparts, with many women under-recognized. By uniting today’s talent and nurturing future leaders, Luxembourg’s launch reinforces our commitment to achieving Vision 30/40.”

The Luxembourg committee co-chairs, Martina Ben-Shaul, CIBC Capital Markets (Europe) SA, and Isabelle Nicks, independent director, shared: “We are thrilled to bring 100WF to Luxembourg. This new location will foster a vibrant community of industry professionals, enhance local and global connections, build skills, and inspire the next generation. By supporting professionals across Luxembourg’s financial ecosystem, we aim to amplify voices and create lasting impact.”

Luxembourg’s launch event will be scheduled in the second quarter of 2025.
