Director of ESG and Sustainability
M&T Bank
Tracy Woodrow, chief administrative officer at M&T Bank, called Erin Komorowski an "unlikely banker."
"Erin has C-suite potential because she is empathetic and fearless," Woodrow added.
Prior to joining the Buffalo, N.Y.-based institution, Komorowski's resume was filled with stints at nonprofits — including two years with the Peace Corps. It was during her time working in Dominica, a small island in the Caribbean with a population just over 70,000, that eventually led her to business school and banking. In Dominica, she worked with a nonprofit that provided training and mentoring to help entrepreneurs gain access to credit from banks and through grants.
