Newcastle business woman, Lisa Gamble, has received recognition as a leader in the finance industry this month.

As a finalist in the Women in Finance Awards 2019, Gamble was nominated in the Regional Professional of the Year category for her work in the Newcastle financial advisory firm Infinity Financial Advisors.

The award acknowledges top female professionals’ excellence in shaping and influencing the financial services industry.

The finalist list, which was announced on 21 June and features over two-hundred and thirty high-achieving professionals across twenty-six categories.

“I’m honoured by this recognition. I’ve built my career in some of Australia’s largest financial firms and have, often still do, find myself one of the few women in the room,” Lisa said.

“These awards, and other events like them, recognise the contribution women have made to what is a dynamic and ever-changing industry.”

“My hope, of course, is that eventually we may be part of an industry that is accepting of diversity and the value that it brings in terms of idea generation, growth and a greater reflection of the community in which we operate.”

“Ultimately, my wish is that all our industry participants are acknowledged for their good work, not because of, or in spite of their differences, but simply because of their work. If this nomination furthers this cause, I am humbled to accept the acknowledgement,” she said.

The awards will be given in August this year at an event hosted in partnership with AMP Bank at The Star Hotel Sydney.

The event puts a spotlight on women in finance and recognises the different skill sets and experience they bring to the table.

Lisa has a Bachelor of Commerce from The University of Western Sydney, a LEAD certificate in Corporate Innovation from Stanford University and is Partner and Business Manager at Infinity Financial Advisors.
