Sound Community Bank is proud to announce that it has been named to American Banker’s 2026 list of The Most Powerful Teams in Banking, the most prestigious recognition in the financial services industry.
Now in its 24th year, The Most Powerful Women in Banking
program recognizes women whose leadership, performance, and impact are transforming the banking sector and shaping the future of financial services. “What’s striking about 2025 and coming into 2026 was the sheer number of things leaders had to get right at the same time—without a playbook. Women at the highest levels—and those quickly on the rise—were making vital decisions amid economic uncertainty, advances in AI, and enormous pressure to rethink how their businesses operate,” said Holly Sraeel, SVP, Strategy and Content, American Banker Live Media. “These leaders were willing to make hard calls, change course if necessary, and bring people along faster to meet the moment. These women have earned their recognition.”
