Matrix Applications & GX2 Systems Join the Women in Securities Finance for the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk

Last month, Jennifer Drag, Head of Sales at GX2 Systems, and Colleen Judge, Head of Marketing & Communications at Matrix Applications, celebrated a successful day at the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk hosted by the American Heart Association with the Women in Securities Finance NY Chapter Team.

The streets of Wall Street were filled with energy as professionals from across the securities industry came together to run, walk and show their support for the American Heart Association.

As part of our commitment to community engagement and wellness, our teams joined hundreds of participants in support of heart health and medical research funding.

“The Wall Street Run & Heart Walk was an event filled with inspiration and impact. In collaboration with Women in Securities Finance and the American Heart Association, this highlights commitment to support the industry and community at large."
