American Banker Names Two First Horizon Leaders To The 2024 The Most Powerful Women In Bankingtm List

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- First Horizon Corp. (NYSE: FHN or "First Horizon") is pleased to announce two of its leaders have been named American Banker's Most Powerful Women in Banking. This year Chief financial Officer Hope
Dmuchowski and Chief Operating Officer Tammy LoCascio are among the honorees. The annual list recognizes extraordinary accomplishments of female executives in banking and finance.

Among many notable accomplishments in 2023, Dmuchowski rose to the challenge following the termination of a $13B merger agreement during a tumultuous operating environment. She led efforts to reengage with investors to reiterate the company's position of strength, stability and ability to achieve business momentum. Within 30 days, the team hosted numerous client and investor meetings and held an Investor Day contributing to a stock price rebound of more than 45% and an increase in deposits of 4% in 45 days of which 90% were retained through the year.
Dmuchowski is passionate about creating environments and opportunities for women to advance and inspires young leaders through her mentorship and volunteer efforts. She will lead a panel discussion at this year's Most Powerful Women in Banking Conference.

Charged with the responsibility of advancing the company's technological capabilities and operational effectiveness, LoCascio and her team created a transformational technology strategy in 2023, deploying an additional $100 million to accelerate technological capabilities. The investments in emerging technology have created tangible, economical value for the company and have measurably enhanced how the bank conducts business. Under her leadership, the company also increased its minimum wage multiple times and implemented a program in which every associate participates in an incentive or bonus program tying their contribution to the company's performance. She is passionate about supporting women in the workplace through leadership and development programs as well as ensuring all women have access to affordable health insurance options.

"Hope and Tammy are exceptional leaders and are committed to excellence, innovation and empowering others to reach their full potential," said Bryan Jordan, Chairman, President and CEO of First Horizon. "We greatly appreciate their contributions to our company and our community and are proud of their recognition among such a prestigious group of industry leaders."

American Banker's The Most Powerful Women in BankingTM initiative recognizes individuals and teams for demonstrating exceptional leadership skills, strong business performance and a commitment to driving real outcomes for diversity, equity and inclusion in financial services.

"This year's rankings feature longtime honorees ascending to new heights, showcasing the advancement that this program has celebrated for over two decades," says Chana Schoenberger, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker. "We're also welcoming newcomers, which proves that with perseverance comes progress. It hasn't been an easy year for banks and financial institutions, but progress continues - not by chance, but through the determined efforts of these women."
