EVP, Chief Information & Product Officer
UMB Bank
Early this year, UMB Financial Corporation closed on its $2 billion acquisition of Heartland Financial, the largest such deal in its 111-year-old history. The acquisition boosted Kansas City, Missouri-based UMB's assets by over 30%, to approximately $68 billion, and grew its presence from eight to 13 states.
Uma Wilson's role in managing product development, technology and operations at UMB Bank means she and her team have been in an "extremely heavy lifting" mode throughout the acquisition process, Wilson said.
"The initial review of all the different systems and different products and offerings from Heartland Financial Institution came out of my team," she explained.
