Alastair Borthwick

: Bank of America Revenue: US $ 113.1bn Founded: 1904
Alastair Borthwick, Chief Financial Officer of Bank of America since 2021, has built his pitch on a single number, net interest income, the gap between what a bank earns on loans and pays on deposits. In 2025 it reached around US $ 60bn, with a record fourth quarter, vindicating his bet that falling rates would help rather than hurt. Under Chief Executive Brian Moynihan, Alastair runs the finances of a bank serving nearly half of US households, where steadiness is its strategy. CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES
