Dear Readers:
L.A. Times B2B Publishing is pleased to announce our second annual Banking and Finance: Trends, Updates & Visionaries magazine, which is also available online in a digital format at latimes.com/b2b/finance.
During the last challenging and unpredictable years, individuals and businesses alike were forced to pivot, get creative and reinvent their business plans and financial protocols in a myriad of ways. More than ever, it has been essential to remain flexible and – whenever possible – ahead of the game.
This magazine presents a collection of informative articles to provide a deeper dive into current, changing, and upcoming trends and updates. We also shine a spotlight on the financial and banking professionals who have become exceedingly important trusted advisors, routinely rising to meet ongoing challenges and help us secure financial security.
The visionaries profiled in this section were all nominated by their colleagues and peers and selected by our B2B Publishing stakeholders. Each of these senior-level executives has demonstrated successes and accomplishments during the last 24 months as well as leadership in their organizations while impacting change within their communities.
To learn how you can nominate outstanding individuals and vote for nominees for possible inclusion in a variety of industry categories in upcoming issues, visit latimes.com/b2b/nominate.
