Women
adding value
in the world of
finance
Danièle Chekroun
Head of European equity execution, AXA investment Managers
The #Buysidewomen campaign was launched
at K&K Global Consulting’s (K&KGC) 7 th annual
Alpha Trader Forum Global Summit on the 6 th
& 7 th February 2019 in London. The campaign,
spearheaded by Managing Director and co-
founder Anita Karppi, is to raise awareness about
the lack of women in buy side trading and to
encourage the next generation of young women to
be fearless in what is still a widely male dominated
working environment.
The Buy-side Perspectives caught up with Danièle
Chekroun, head of European equity execution
at AXA Investment Managers, who shares her
thoughts on this within her role as head of
equity trading at one of the leading global asset
management firms.
