Markets Media is pleased to announce that Mariko Boswell, Executive Vice President and Account Manager at PIMCO, will win the Instinet Positive Impact Award at the 10th annual Women in Finance Awards, which will be held Nov. 21 in New York.
“I am honored to be recognized with the Positive Impact Award and am excited to celebrate the achievements of so many remarkable women,” Boswell told Markets Media. “Building community, both within PIMCO and locally through service to mission-driven organizations, is incredibly important to me, and I am deeply touched to be acknowledged for the positive impact of this work.”
The Positive Impact Awards are a Markets Media – Instinet partnership and a longstanding presence at MMG’s Women in Finance Awards and Markets Choice Awards, both in New York and London.
“Instinet is proud to sponsor the Instinet Positive Impact Awards again this year. These awards shine a spotlight on the financial industry’s role in driving progress, not just within the marketplace but in society as a whole,” said Gerry Milligan, President and Head of the Americas at Instinet. “They honor individuals that exemplify innovation, community service, philanthropy, and the ongoing push toward a more inclusive and equitable culture.”
Boswell contributes to her firm and the broader community through leadership and dedication. As the Executive Sponsor for the PIMCO Women Employee Resource Group, she has been instrumental in promoting gender diversity and inclusion within the firm. Her active participation in industry initiatives and charitable activities, such as Rock the Street, Wall Street, and her roles on the Board of Directors of the YMCA of Austin and the Texas Alternative Investments Association highlight her commitment to community development and support.
Further, Boswell recently was named Co-head of PIMCO’s Austin Office, a role that recognizes her exceptional work as a culture carrier. This new responsibility is a testament to her efforts in fostering a positive corporate culture, making the office a more inclusive and supportive environment for all employees.
Recent Women in Finance winners for Positive Impact include Erica Attonito of Hudson River Trading in 2023, Elizabeth Levy of Trillium in 2022, and Kate Burke of AllianceBernstein in 2021.
