Charitable Works Award
Elizabeth Wintrich
RBC Capital Markets
When 2014 Rising Star award winner Jennifer Hadiaris heard the charitable works award announced last year, she immediately thought of Liz. Lizs ability to integrate her charitable spirit and efforts into her personal and professional life has been an inspiration to me and many others, Hadiaris said.
Elizabeth Wintrich serves as a director at RBC Capital Markets in New York. A senior sales trader on RBCs cash equity trading desk, Wintrich covers a combination of U.S. and Canadian hedge funds, and several master limited partner accounts. A very demanding job, yet she also finds time to volunteer and recruit others to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House on East 73rd Street in Manhattan.

What I love about our work at Ronald McDonald House, Wintrich said, is that its been a homegrown effort thats grown organically within the firm. Bobby Grubert, the head of U.S. equities, approached two of us in 2009 to join him at the house to see how we could become more involved in the volunteering effort. Soon after, we donated and cooked our first dinner at the house.
Since then, her team established a monthly dinner, and the equity sales team started a monthly dinner as well. Two monthly dinners volunteered and donated by our employees, Wintrich said. Its caught on with other teams at RBC; convertibles and fixed income both serve a quarterly dinner, and the London office has joined in, too.
She helps lead RBCs sponsorship of the Skate With the Greats event at Rockefeller Center. Contributors pay to skate with current and past members of the New York Rangers. Under her leadership, fundraising rose from $250,000 in 2009 to more than $1 million in 2013.

I think what makes me successful is that I care, and people trust me. Thats very important. I care about the integrity of my work, about doing the right thing for my clients, and about maintaining the culture that makes the RBC team so successful.
