Emily brought more than 15 years of experience in the banking and finance industry. She was passionate about building strong, lasting relationships with clients to help them thrive in today’s competitive market. Her dedication to empowering women in business and closing the gender lending gap has been a driving force in helping small business owners achieve their financial goals.

First Women’s Bank is the only mission-driven, women-founded, women-run bank that specifically supports the women’s economy, elevates the role of women in business, and addresses the gender lending gap through its services and resources.
