Linklaters proud sponsors of Women of the Year Awards 2022

This year, Linklaters created and sponsored the Funder of the Year Award which celebrates highly accomplished women in finance who are using their capital to invest directly in opportunities led by talented female entrepreneurs.

Aedamar Comiskey, Linklaters’ Senior Partner and Chair, presented the award to Yvonne Bajela, Partner at LocalGlobe and Latitude, and Venture Partner at Impact X Capital Partners, a venture capital firm focused on investing in underrepresented entrepreneurs across Europe.

On receiving the Award, Yvonne Bajela stated:

"Thrilled to have been named Funder of the Year by Linklaters. I am very privileged to work with incredible entrepreneurs who are changing the world on a daily basis, without them I would not be where I am today”.

Aedamar Comiskey commented:

“We were delighted to present Yvonne Bajela with our Funder of the Year Award. It’s great to see the investment Yvonne is making in such impressive yet underrepresented entrepreneurs and her inspiring efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the industry.”
