19 Alastair Borthwick

Title: CFO Company: Bank of America Industry: Financial Services

Alastair, a Scot who cut his finance teeth on Wall Street trading floors, spent nine years running Bank of America’ s commercial banking arm. This tenure came with countless achievements, including its Paycheck Protection Program rollout during the COVID-19 pandemic, before being tapped for the CFO role in 2021. He credits his old business school professors, not spreadsheets, for teaching him the leadership skills a career in this job needs. Before joining Bank of America in 2005, he spent 12 years at Goldman Sachs.
