Abu Dhabi, UAE - In a landmark moment for gender equality in finance, Hasnae Taleb, a globally recognized multi-award winning trader, investor, and entrepreneur, became the first female trader to ring the bell at the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). The event, part of ADX’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, highlights the progress being made in the traditionally male-dominated financial sector.
Ringing the bell at a stock exchange is a powerful symbol of market activity and progress. In this case, it also represents a broader movement—one that advocates for increased representation, equal opportunities, and a future where women are not just participants but leaders in finance.
“Finance has never been an easy space for women. It’s a world built on numbers, strategy, and risk-taking, yet for decades, opportunities weren’t always given equally,” said Hasnae Taleb. “I’ve faced my share of challenges, but I’ve also seen firsthand what happens when women break through—doors open, perspectives shift, and industries evolve.”
With a career spanning multiple markets and billions in assets under management, Taleb has built a reputation for breaking barriers. From Wall Street to the Middle East, she has continuously pushed for change in an industry that is often slow to evolve.
“Ringing the bell today wasn’t just symbolic; it was a proud moment for me and for women everywhere. A reminder of how far we’ve come and how much more we can do. I am honored to stand for gender equality in finance and to be part of an initiative that ensures the next generation of women in this industry don’t just participate—they lead,” Taleb added.
ADX’s commitment to gender diversity is part of a broader push across global financial markets to promote inclusivity, recognizing that diverse perspectives drive innovation, resilience, and long-term growth.
