American Banker has named Katherine Weislogel, head of treasury and payment solutions (T&PS), and Liz Wolverton, chief strategy and customer experience officer, Women to Watch as part of the publication's Most Powerful Women in Banking recognition. The annual ranking recognizes women for their impact on their company, industry, and community at large, as well as their leadership and innovation-development capabilities.

“The banking industry has made significant progress developing, empowering, and recognizing women leaders in recent years, and Synovus has two of the best in Katherine and Liz,” said Kevin Blair, president and CEO of Synovus. “We’re grateful for this recognition from American Banker and proud of the leadership Katherine and Liz provide at our company.”

Weislogel’s responsibilities include oversight of the bank’s treasury management and liquidity solutions; management of international and commercial card sales; implementation of products and services; and pricing, billing, and risk management of all T&PS products and services.
