Director of Retail Products and Sales Management, Comerica Bank
Comerica takes pride in its commitment to educating and empowering the customers that utilize its services. Cassandra McKinney, director of retail products and sales management, has been with the financial icon for four years and emphasizes the importance of a strong banking relationship. “Banking really does [play] an important role in our communities,” shares McKinney. “In our business specifically, we seek to advise clients in ways that help them meet their financial goals [while] protecting and growing their financial assets — which in this economy is a pretty tough order.”
McKinney has maximized her potential within the company by remaining flexible. “Comerica serves customers across several industries, so it’s important to stay abreast of the changes occurring in those industries so that you can adapt to what may come over the horizon,” she explains. “I spend a lot of time [keeping] up with the information relevant to our business.
“… I not only stay attuned to the things that are important for me to do my job today, but I am also focused on how I can continue to grow personally so that I can further my career based on the goals that I have,” she continues.
That commitment to both personal and corporate growth has been McKinney’s greatest asset. “It is always important to have a clearly defined goal. It starts with that [and] it moves to understanding how that goal is measured. I recognize that the path may change — and that’s OK. It may zigzag, [but] … have a vision of where you are going and continue to assess it along the way.” –todd williams
