The Most Powerful Women in Banking
Honorees gathered at Tiffany's Landmark building in New York City, where American Banker interviewed them about the industry's trajectory and leadership lessons they've learned in their careers.
The speculation is that Maria Vullo, who is waiting to be confirmed as New York's new banking superintendent, is less interested in being on the 6 o'clock news than Ben Lawsky was. A study shows that companies sap women of ambition to advance within two years, an effect that doesn't happen with men in part because they tend to get more encouragement. But is it any wonder women feel that way when even now, it appears they might get fired for refusing to wear high heels at work? Also, Sallie Krawcheck, Sheila Bair and Elizabeth Warren.
