The finalists for 11 awards at the Leasing Life Awards 2023, to be hosted in Hungary at the Corinthia Grand, Budapest, on 9 November, have been revealed. 

The winners will be announced during a gala event, following the Leasing Life Conference 2023 on the same date.

In a first for Leasing Life, the judges – Head Judge Patrick Gouin (Executive Director of Invigors), Roger Skinner (Chairman of Finativ), and Jukka Salonen (Former CEO of Nordea Finance) – declared two “uncontested stand-out winners”.
