“All of the women in our rankings — Ranjana included — are
leaders at their companies and are truly exceptional at their
jobs,” said American Banker executive Editor Bonnie McGeer.
“Ranjana is also active in the industry, and in her community. Our
hope is that by calling attention to such outstanding women, we can
help amplify efforts by the industry to diversify its still largely
male-dominated senior ranks.”
In naming Ms. Clark to the Top 25 list, the magazine cited her
role leading transaction banking efforts for MUFG in the United
States, Canada, and Latin America, where she’s responsible for
sales, product development, client delivery, strategy, and risk
management. She oversaw year-over-year improvements in total
deposits and revenue, and restructured the group to align for
increased flexibility and growth, focusing on a streamlined
onboarding process for new clients.
“Ranjana is a strong leader, collaborator, and mentor,” said
Stephen Cummings, President and Chief Executive Officer for MUFG
Union Bank. “She surpasses her business goals every year, and finds
innovative ways to serve our clients while inspiring our
colleagues. This honor is a welcome and well-deserved
recognition.”
Prior to joining MUFG in 2013, Ms. Clark was Chief Customer and
Marketing Officer at PayPal. She also served as President of Global
Business Payments and Head of Global Strategy at Western Union, and
earlier was Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing
Officer at Wachovia Bank where she also served as Head of the
Treasury Services Group. Prior to Wachovia, she spent five years
with Deutsche Bank in Mumbai, India.
Ms. Clark earned her MBA with an emphasis in Finance from Duke
University’s Fuqua School of Business, and received an MBA with an
emphasis in Marketing from the Indian Institute of Management in
Ahmedabad, India. She received her Bachelor of Arts from the
University of Delhi. She has held the Certified Treasury
Professional designation as well as Series 7, 8, 24 and 63
securities licenses.
Ms. Clark has been recognized as one of “The Most Influential
Women in Payments” by Payments Source and Bank Technology News. She
also has been named as one of the “Most Influential Women in Bay
Area Business” by the San Francisco Business Times and was included
in a list of “Women of Influence” by the Silicon Valley Business
Journal. She is a member of the Board of Directors of StanCorp
Financial Group, Inc., and served on the Board of Visitors of the
Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, and the boards of The
Association of National Advertisers, the AdCouncil, and the Center
for Economic Development in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Clark is joined in American Banker Magazine’s annual list of
top bankers by her MUFG colleagues Bita Ardalan, head of Middle
Market Banking for the U.S., and Wendy Breuder, Co-General Manager
and Head of Midwest General Industries for U.S. Corporate Banking.
Both were named to the magazine’s list of ‘25 Women to Watch.’
Ardalan is based in Woodland Hills, California, and Breuder in
Chicago.
All of this year’s honorees will be celebrated at a gala dinner
and awards ceremony on October 8 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York
