2024 Alexander Hamilton Award Finalists

Congratulations to all these organizations on their outstanding, innovative projects!

Treasury & Risk is excited to announce the finalists in our 2024 Alexander Hamilton Awards program.

We will not announce the specific prize (e.g., gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention) that each company won in a particular category until we present the awards for that category, starting in spring 2024. However, we are pleased to announce next year’s Alexander Hamilton Award winners—in alphabetical order within each category:

This category celebrates projects that have achieved noteworthy success through a major revamp of corporate treasury processes. Centralization or decentralization of the treasury function, outsourcing initiatives, restructuring of treasury to support new lines of business, and staff recruitment or development programs—among other types of projects—fit into this category. Our 2024 finalists are:

 

Technology Excellence

This award recognizes corporate treasury or finance departments for their implementation of innovative technology solutions that may be developed either internally or externally.

Our 2024 finalists are:

We will be recognizing these companies with a series of webcasts and articles throughout 2024. When we present the webcast and publish the articles for a category, we will announce which “color” of award each company in that category has won. We will also delve into the best practices that made these organizations stand out in a field of exceptional projects, and we will garner lessons learned from the innovators themselves. Stay tuned to Treasury & Risk for more information.

Thank you to Erik Smolders, Jean-Francois Heitz, Craig Jeffery, Marie Hollein, and Paul Galloway for reviewing this year’s outstanding submissions and selecting the most innovative to be our 2024 award winners!

And congratulations to all our finalists!
