Education: Bachelor’s degree in finance, Miami University
What Guides My Decision Making: In every decision, I am guided by my personal and professional commitment to deliver on Key’s purpose: to help our clients, colleagues and communities thrive.
First Thing I Do When I Start My Day: I start each morning with some type of exercise before catching up on the day’s headlines across several news sources. I believe the more perspectives we read and consider, the more informed decisions we can make each day as leaders.
What Motivates Me: I am motivated by KeyBank’s 3.5 million clients who depend on us ... Banking is much more than numbers. Behind the numbers, there are countless stories about the lives and businesses that are transformed because of the role we play for our clients and in our communities.
Proudest Moment: I am incredibly proud to be celebrating KeyBank’s 200th birthday in 2025. KeyBank’s origins began decades before electricity lit the night (1882), before the automobile ruled the roadways (1885) and before the telephone carried our voices across the continent (1876).
