Director, Treasury Management Product Management
Synovus
Don't underestimate Tracy Rudolph's specialized skill for organizing, structuring and planning initiatives, and seeing them quietly through. Starting as Synovus Financial's head of receivables product management in 2021, she inherited a tech project wobbling from vendor issues that her methodical approach put back on track. A subsequent initiative she oversaw proceeded with so little hubbub—virtually unheard of with major tech conversions — that the bank's head of treasury product strategy and innovation asked if something was secretly wrong.
"No, it's going really well," she told Seth Marlowe, who was Rudolph's manager at the time.
