The Most Powerful Women in Banking

Digital Asset Holdings has hired a former RBS executive to be its chief financial officer. The hire was one of several new recruits the New York blockchain startup announced Tuesday.

The week Hillary Clinton made history for women by winning her party's presidential nomination, and newspapers everywhere featured her husband Bill in their front-page photos. (Go figure.) Fed governor Lael Brainard is being touted as a possible Clinton cabinet member. Sallie Krawcheck and Jenny Knott talk Wall Street then and now, and so does Barbara Byrne, whose stories you may find mirrored in the upcoming movie "Equity." U.S. Bancorp has family therapists for the ultra-rich. Plus, Claire Calmejane, Mary Callahan Erdoes and Beth Mooney.

The movie "Equity" about women on Wall Street (backed by Barbara Byrne and other industry women) is coming soon. The internet reacts to the 'Bro Talk' op-ed about Wall Street's objectification of women. The CFSI is pushing for a more holistic financial health metric. Jill Castilla is big on Pokemon Go and tweeting about it to lure people into the branch. Also, Sheryl Sandberg is rethinking parts of her "Lean In" philosophy.

Citizens Financial Group in Providence, R.I., has named Mary Ellen Baker head of business services.

A former Wall Street trader contends that "bro talk" is keeping women down, and it often comes from bosses; B of A says there is no "bro's club" at the company; Mary Mack is succeeding a retiring Carrie Tolstedt at Wells Fargo; and Barclays' Barbara Byrne tries a new recruiting tactic. Also, with Theresa May as U.K. prime minister, could we soon see mostly women running the western world?
