Dear Readers,

We are excited to announce our first Banking and Finance Magazine from the Los Angeles Times Brand Publishing team. This issue will be the first of several engaging business-related publications coming to you in 2021.

During this unparalleled period, when individuals and companies must constantly pivot and reinvent themselves in a myriad of ways, it’s crucial to remain ahead of the game. To that end, we present an insightful look at upcoming trends and updates, as well as shine a light on professionals who continually rise to meet ongoing challenges and secure future goals. The visionaries profiled here were all nominated by their peers and selected by our Brand Publishing division with input from readers. We hope you enjoy learning about some of their stellar accomplishments and how they’ve propelled their organizations and our community towards success.
