These women have harnessed their expertise, vision, and determination to challenge the industry's status quo, introduce groundbreaking technologies, foster collaborative cultures, and reshape customer experiences.
"Nearly half of employees in banking are women, but only 15% hold executive roles and a mere 5% are CEOs. Yet, their contributions are nothing short of remarkable," said Kim Snyder, CEO and founder of KlariVis. "As women continue to leave their mark and drive innovation within the industry, it's essential that we acknowledge those who are already leading the way. We are proud to pay tribute to these 50 women for their unwavering dedication to innovation and progress in community banking."
