Midwest Regional Executive
PNC Bank
Midwest Regional Executive As the Midwest regional executive of commercial banking for PNC Bank, Krista Flynn focuses on leading her teams to provide financial solutions to businesses across the lower middle market.
Flynn has 28 years of experience in the financial industry, including commercial and middle market banking, capital markets and credit.
She said achieving executive-level leadership roles not only in banking, but in corporate banking – which tends to be heavily male-dominated – all while remaining grounded in authenticity is one of the highlights of her career. Flynn said she enjoys using that experience to influence the next generation of finance professionals and help them navigate their careers.
She’s also proud of leading a large employee and client base through a significant leadership change plus two mergers within a two-year time period earlier in her career.
Flynn serves on the boards of Michigan Economic Development Corp., Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Grand Action 2.0, KConnect, Armed Forces Thanksgiving and Safari Circuits. She also participates on committees with Kent County 2050, Association for Corporate Growth and the Convention and Arena Authority.
“West Michigan is really near and dear to my heart. I love this community,” she said. “I like being on the boards that I serve, and really like making West Michigan the best place to live, work and play.”
Flynn’s volunteer efforts include working with Kids’ Food Basket, Heart of West Michigan United Way and Samaritas.
