As big corporations — and big banks, in particular — have faced pressure to take a stance on political issues ranging from immigration to gun control, Anne Finucane, vice chairman at Bank of America, has stepped into the spotlight.
She is again one of our Most Powerful Women in Banking, and is the only one in the top 10 to have moved up in the ranking this year.
In the months ahead, Finucane also will become more visible overseas in her newly added role as chairman of BofA’s European operations. That will put her at the forefront of one of the thorniest challenges facing big banks: dealing with the fallout of the U.K.’s 2016 referendum to leave the European Union.
Joining Finucane as one of the Most Powerful Women — and making her debut in this ranking for 2018 — is Thasunda Duckett.
JPMorgan Chase is expanding its retail bank with plans to add 400 new branches in cities along the East Coast, and Duckett is leading the charge as its chief executive of consumer banking.
Some of the others in the ranking come from regional banks such as Fifth Third, KeyCorp and PNC Financial Services, and two are community bank CEOs.
