The men and women who are leaders in Maryland’s banking and financial services are helping their clients deal with a roller coaster of an economy, one that was buffeted by the pandemic and is now wracked by inflation.
Thomas Baden Jr.
The companies and institutions they lead – from credit unions to banks, from private wealth advisers to asset management companies – come in all sizes. But the realities of the economy affect them all.
The 30 people you’ll meet in our second annual Power 30 Banking & Finance List play an outsized role in the state’s economy. We’re pleased to profile them in this special publication.
This list was chosen by our editorial team. We reached out to readers and others for input and perspective. Many of the Power 30 are familiar to all of us – a good number were on this list last year – but some are known mostly inside their organizations or communities.
In these pages we explore how these leaders view the banking and financial services landscape, not only how it now exists but what it may look like in the future. And, just as importantly, we’ve tried to offer a glimpse into the kind of people they are, how they view their jobs, what drives them forward.
This list is part of a series of Power Lists throughout 2022 that will showcase the leading figures in law, higher education, health care, business and other fields.
You can find this and all our Power Lists on our website, TheDailyRecord.com.
We hope you enjoy this publication, and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
