Today’s spotlight: Mary Holman

Title: Executive vice president and private banking director, National Bank of Arizona

Background: Holman is responsible for strategically growing the Private Bank through enhanced services and credit solutions for high net-worth clients. She has more than 30 years of banking experience and is an active member of the bank’s executive committee.

Best decision: “Smartest professional decision I made was to move to San Diego with a job offer from Bank of America. I was a very green banker and wanted to move into commercial lending … The decision to work in commercial lending opened a variety of doors for me and has proven to be a very successful career move.”
