Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Reyes has consistently been recognized as one of the most successful, influential and powerful women in banking, including accolades from American Banker, Crain’s New York, and Euromoney, which named her a “transaction banking trailblazer.” Prior to her tenure at HSBC, she was Global Payments Head for Citi’s Global Transaction Services.
