The Most Powerful Women in Banking

As senior executive vice president and chief institutional client officer at TIAA, Gibson oversees the company's core retirement business.

In 2021, El-Hillow left Goldman Sachs to lead the Seattle-based private company's entire investment division.

Lorch started as the marketing director at First Internet Bank, the first online-only bank, at its launch. Few Americans had internet access so it wasn't a sure bet the bank would survive. She's still there, now as the president.

As a managing director within Citi Investment Management, a division that sits within wealth, White is playing an integral part in reshaping that line of business.

Wech worked her way up over the past 16 years from a trainee through the retail division, becoming a branch manager, the manager of multiple locations, a team leader and now a regional head for business banking.
