This year’s FN100 Influential Women, Financial News’ fifth annual editorial pick of the most influential female executives working in European financial markets, has a clear bias towards those engaged in the regulatory debate and formulating a response to the eurozone crisis.

Of the 100 on the list, more than 40 work in asset management, including pension scheme and hedge fund managers, 30 work for investment banks, seven in trading and exchanges and eight in private equity. There are also seven regulators, four leaders of industry lobbying groups and three lawyers.
