Annabel Whiting, market managing director, institutional asset management, PNC

BACKGROUND: Annabel Whiting is market director for PNC Bank’s Institutional Asset Management business. Her team provides liquidity management, investment solutions and retirement plan advisory services to PNC’s institutional clients. Previously, she served high-net-worth families, delivering private banking, lending, risk management, investment management, wealth transfer and financial planning solutions.

SOURCE OF PRIDE: “I am proud of various professional accomplishments in my career, particularly around mentoring and development of younger colleagues.  But what I am most proud of professionally is serving the local Arizona community and beyond during the pandemic – not only helping deliver critical financial relief to organizations in greatest need through facilitating PPP funding, but also providing education, guidance, and solutions to successfully solve individual clients’ challenges.”

SURPRISING FACT: “I have lived in four countries – England, Greece, Slovakia, and the US – and throughout my international education I took 10 years of Latin, which helps me maintain my winning Scrabble record to this day.

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “I am fortunate to have worked with a number of inspirational women leaders throughout my professional career, and seek to continually share lessons learned from them with others so we can all “up our game” – including living your values, leading with empathy, practicing respect and inclusion, and empowering others.  But If I had to pick one inspirational woman leader, it would be Queen Elizabeth II, who has led a life of duty and service to others, and through her leadership has made a lasting impact on world affairs.
