In its recent Most Powerful Women in Banking NEXT 2026 feature, American Banker recognizes Anne-Victoire Auriault (Princeton MFin alum, 2012) for her continued influence in the financial sector, naming her in the number two spot. This is the second year in a row that Auriault is listed (last year she claimed the top spot).

As Partner, Equities Trading at Goldman Sachs, Auriault has led the expansion of the firm’s global ETF business—steering the launch of more advanced and thematic ETF products (from AI to cryptocurrencies) that demand sophisticated trading infrastructure.

Her work exemplifies the quant-driven, innovation-forward mindset fostered by Princeton’s MFin curriculum: combining deep technical fluency with strategic execution in market structure and product evolution. Her leadership in a highly competitive asset management and trading landscape highlights the real-world impact and industry readiness of Princeton’s graduates.

Congratulations to Auriault, who has recently joined BCF’s Advisory Council, on this well-deserved recognition of her industry leadership.
