Nasdaq's New CEO Attributes Her Success to a "Varied" Career Path



Nasdaq Inc. on Monday advanced head working officer Adena Friedman to the part of CEO, making her the main lady to run a noteworthy U.S. trade and catapulting her into the top positions of ladies in fund.

Friedman's arrangement to supplant long-term CEO Bob Greifeld was normal as far back as she came back to the organization in 2014 following a three-year stretch as CFO of private value firm Carlyle Group. By and by, her arrangement as CEO finishes her decades-long move in back, which started when she interned at Nasdaq in 1993.

At Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit in October, Friedman, 47, thought about her climb at Nasdaq, which included stops as head of information items, head of system, and CFO. She credited her prosperity, to some extent, to joining Nasdaq in a to some degree uncertain employment nearly 23 years back.

Her way wound up being "varied" and "winding," and allowed her to experiment with new things. "I don't think numerous organizations would have given me that level of chance to get things done, to be perfectly honest, that I'd never done," she said at the meeting.

Maybe that changed foundation will serve Friedman well in her new part.

When she assumes control on January 1, she will be in charge of exploring the trade amass through an advancing administrative atmosphere that could get much more tumultuous in the wake of Donald Trump's decision win a week ago. What's sure is that Friedman should react to the looming shakeup at the Securities and Exchange Commission, given Mary Jo White's declaration Monday that she'll venture down as seat in January. White's takeoff opens the entryway for a Trump representative to move back a portion of the Dodd Frank-related tenets White fixed amid her residency.

At the point when approached about the potential for administrative change under President Trump, Friedman, in a meeting with Bloomberg, recognized the "open door for deregulation and altering controls that are set up." She went ahead to state that Nasdaq's part in such a situation "is to ensure we give reasonable and proficient markets and equivalent open door. We have constantly done that."

Friedman said in October that she needs more ladies to blast ways in back, which—like tech—has attempted to pull in and keep up top female ability. "I would love in 20 years to see that there is no less than 40%—it should was half—ladies over the range of an association," she said, "with the goal that youngsters can consequently observe that vocation way for themselves; they can see individuals they can identify with; they can turn upward and understand there's chance in front of them, and they don't consider it to be unattainable."
