THE INNOVATION ISSUE
Jack L . Kopnisky
President & CEO Sterling National Bank
If there ’ s one thing we ’ ve learned time and time again , it ’ s that the spirit of American innovation remains boundless even in the face of complete uncertainty . And few moments in our lifetimes have compelled us to be more forward- thinking than in dealing with this pandemic .
UNDER PRESSURE
12The Importance of Innovating in a Crisis .
While we ’ ve taken extensive measures to respond to this crisis in the shortterm , we ’ ve also not lost sight of the importance of pushing the envelope for the future . From introducing a new Innovation Finance group to launching our groundbreaking banking-as-a-service offering — we ’ ve continued to embrace innovation to meet the needs of our clients , colleagues , and communities .
The road ahead may still remain uncertain , but as I ’ ve mentioned before there is no question that Sterling has what it takes to successfully manage any challenges we may face . As always , please stay safe and take good care of yourself and your families .
Sincerely ,
