Bari Wolfe, DTCC Managing Director, Regulatory Relations, and Andrea Gibbons, DTCC Managing Director, Human Resources, won the categories Excellence in Regulation and Excellence in Human Resources respectively, at Market’s Media Group’s 2022 U.S. Women in Finance Awards.
Excellence in Regulation
During her 11 years career with DTCC, Wolfe has led the organization’s engagement with regulators around the world through her close work with key stakeholders and various regulatory agencies, including those that regulate DTCC entities, and others as well.
Wolfe joined DTCC at a time of major change in the industry with the goal of bringing increased transparency and proactive dialogue with regulators on topical issues of importance to DTCC and the industry. Shortly after joining DTCC, she led the firm’s regulatory relations responsibilities through the implementation of Dodd Frank so that the organization was well positioned to navigate the complex regulatory environment across DTCC’s regulated entities, including those designated systemically important. Her efforts coming out of the ’08 crisis created a solid foundation for many regulatory relations team achievements to come, including helping to position DTCC for the successful implementation of T+1 and promoting discussion and transparency as DTCC expands its central clearing capabilities.
“It is a great honor to receive this award, but I do not receive it alone,” Wolfe said. “This award belongs to the entire DTCC Regulatory Relations team who, together, have helped DTCC achieve its goals to support the advancement of a more transparent, secure and resilient financial services industry.”
Excellence in Human Resources
Gibbons joined DTCC in 2014 as part of the firm’s acquisition of Omgeo and led the challenging task to successfully integrate Omgeo into DTCC.
More recently, Gibbons has been pivotal in helping DTCC navigate HR challenges. In today’s competitive hiring market, in which all companies are striving to attract and retain top talent, Gibbons partnered with others across HR to design a human capital strategy that includes and employee value proposition across four pillars: Community, Growth, Our Ways of Working and Wellbeing. The strategy is entirely underpinned through the lens of Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), with a focus on supporting women and diverse team members. This strategy is a key component of the DTCC corporate goals.
Andrea, alongside DTCC’s team of dedicated HR employees, has also been at the forefront of designing customized, innovative HR programs and practices for DTCC employees.
“I am honored and humbled to receive this award,” Gibbons said. “But I would not be standing here if it weren’t for the talented HR team at DTCC who innovate and find new ways to address challenging situations every day.”
