Ms. Annequin won the Excellence in Marketing and Communications award for directing the expansion of marketing and advertising activities for MIAX®.

"I want to thank Markets Media for highlighting the achievements of women in our industry," said Ms. Annequin. "It's an honor to be recognized among such an esteemed group of professionals. MIH is a leader in providing opportunities for its employees and I am grateful to be part of a management team that embraces these values which contribute to our dynamic and inclusive culture."
"We are incredibly proud to celebrate this achievement with Barbara and Kelli as they pave the way for future generations of women in our industry," said Thomas P. Gallagher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MIH.
