Global championship heads for a ladies’ final

On 20 July, one of America’s most influential businesswomen, Cathy Kinney, will swap Wall Street for the boulevards of Paris. Kinney is one of

the New York Stock Exchange’s big chiefs — president and co-chief operating officer

of the newly merged $20 billion NYSE–Euronext group — and she’s moving to the French bourse’s headquarters at

39 rue Cambon, where she has been charged with setting up the nerve-centre of the NYSE’s global offensive.
