Female chief executives are a rare thing in the banking industry, but the women honored in this year's suite of awards for The Most Powerful Women in Banking are hoping to change that trend.

Each CEO listed has navigated numerous hurdles throughout their careers to get to where they are now, including moving to the U.S. from across the globe, working among teams composed of predominantly men, breaking down cultural norms in favor of more inclusive practices and more.

We asked each honoree three different questions about lessons learned since they began, which you can read below.

Read on to learn more about each of the award winners' tenures in the industry and what it took to advance their careers.
