Daniela Cardona, 30, is a senior vice president of media investment banking at RBC Capital Markets. In 2024, BI named her a rising star of Wall Street.
When it comes to fashion, Cardona said she leans on the basic side.
“I’m in the neutrals rotation space, so I wear a lot of white, black, gray, and tans in tops,” she said.
That’s partially because her real fashion statement comes in the form of shoes: a $1,050 pair of Gucci Jordaan loafers.
“I’m a loafer girl because I think they’re elevated,” she said. “You still look professional, but you’re comfortable.”
“When I was younger — I’ve been in banking for almost nine years now — I definitely tried to do more heels in the office and sneakers to walk home,” she added. “But at this point, I do a loafer.”
