Abigail Johnson

Abigail Johnson has led Fidelity Investments as CEO since 2014 and as chair since 2016, having worked at the firm for over three decades. Under her leadership, Fidelity launched the first zero expense ratio index funds in the US in 2018, launched Fidelity Digital Assets for institutional cryptocurrency services, and modernized the firm's technology infrastructure. Fidelity is the largest privately held asset manager in the US, serving millions of retail investors and thousands of institutional clients. Johnson is one of the most influential women in global finance. Her decision to build Fidelity Digital Assets as a standalone institutional-grade cryptocurrency custody and trading business positioned Fidelity ahead of most traditional asset managers in the digital asset space, and the platform became a trusted infrastructure provider for institutional investors seeking regulated exposure to Bitcoin.
