EMpower in the News
We are excited to share that Rekha Nair, EMpower U.S. Board Director, has been honored with the "Excellence in Trading—FX" award at Markets Media’s 2024 U.S. Women in Finance Awards! This prestigious accolade highlights Rekha’s exceptional skills and leadership in foreign exchange trading at Societe Generale, where she continues to set the standard for excellence in the finance industry.
Rekha’s success as a trailblazer for women in finance reflects her resilience, expertise, and commitment to fostering strong client relationships. Her achievements inspire women across industries to aim higher and break barriers.
But Rekha’s contributions don’t stop at finance. Through her role as an ambassador for EMpower, Rekha is helping drive transformative change by supporting community-based organisations in emerging markets. Her efforts focus on improving education, health, and livelihoods for marginalised youth—especially girls—across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Turkey.
In her recent feature in the 2024 Women in Finance Awards publication by Markets Media, Rekha shared insights on her journey, resilience, and future aspirations. She also reflected on the importance of giving back and the impactful work she is doing with EMpower to uplift young women and youth in need.
At EMpower, we are proud to work alongside leaders like Rekha Nair, who demonstrate how professional success can go hand in hand with meaningful social impact. Congratulations, Rekha, on this well-deserved recognition!
