Tara Doyle

Ms Doyle, head of the firm’s asset management and investment funds department, has won the award for the second consecutive year.

The awards aim to redress gender imbalance by showcasing the achievements of women in the finance sector and identifying new role models.

The judges said the award reflected Ms Doyle’s “leading voice in the asset management industry [and] her numerous accolades”.

It also recognised her for being “the first female head of an Irish asset management practice where she advises many of the world’s leading financial institutions and has built a reputation of clear vision, leadership and commands an impressive expertise of law”.
