Leslie Godridge and Kate Quinn honored by industry magazine at
New York gala
Leslie Godridge, vice chairman and co-head of wholesale banking,
and Kate Quinn, chief strategy and reputation officer at U.S. Bank,
have been honored by American Banker Magazine as among the “Most
Powerful Women in Banking” for 2016. Honorees were celebrated in a
ceremony hosted by American Banker in New York City.
Godridge, who joined U.S. Bank in 2007, is at the helm of U.S.
Bank Wholesale Banking, one of the company’s four primary business
lines. She was promoted to the company’s managing committee as a
vice chairman in January, and today oversees growing business in
national corporate banking, global treasury management, public and
nonprofit finance, international banking and corporate specialized
industries. Once regionally focused, U.S. Bank’s national corporate
business banking now has national recognition thanks to Godridge’s
leadership, with more than 1,500 clients and loan volume growth of
more than 9 percent year over year.
Quinn, who joined U.S. Bank in 2013, oversees one of the most
high-profile divisions of the company in recent years, and has been
the driving force behind U.S. Bank’s corporate strategy and brand
transformation. U.S. Bank has a reputation as one of the most
admired banks in the financial industry, but it wasn’t going to
rest on its laurels. In only three years, Quinn has brought forward
an aggressive strategy to unify the company’s brand and core
values, and established a strategic framework for future growth.
Her contributions are most visible in the company’s new brand
promise, “The Power of Possible.”
U.S. Bank has been consistently recognized in the “Most Powerful
Women in Banking” since the program’s inception. Godridge ranked
7th and Quinn was 14th on the list of Women to Watch in 2016.
Women at U.S. Bank are encouraged as leaders through a number of
initiatives. Most recently, the company launched an internal "U.S.
Bank Women" Business Resource Group (BRG) in early 2016. The BRG,
which has more than 4,000 members, provides employees across the
company with a variety of events and activities, from guest
speakers and seminars to volunteer opportunities.
