Louise Lane, associate director and head of Crypto at independent chartered accountants Wright Vigar, has been named Woman of the Year – FinTech/Crypto at the Citywealth Powerwoman Awards International.

The awards celebrate the achievements of women internationally across various industries.

The firm, which has a base in Mansfield, said her leadership played a pivotal role in paving the way for the firm’s success in an ever-evolving industry.

“I am honoured and humbled to be recognised for this prestigious award,” Louise said. “This recognition would not have been possible without the support of my team at Wright Vigar and the opportunities they have given me.”

A spokesperson for Wright Vigar said Louise’s dedication, passion, and exceptional achievements have not only contributed to the success of the firm, but have also made a lasting impact on the broader FinTech and Crypto community.
