SPRING 2023 / REAL-LEADERS.COM 7 REAL LEADERS IMPACT AWARDS 2023 9. SUNRISE BANKS The mission of Sunrise Banks is to empower financial wellness. They offer traditional banking products and services, but their niche is developing innovative ways to ensure everyone has a fair stake in the financial industry. They partner with fintech companies to streamline the way consumers access and interact with their money. "As an impact leader, my job is to walk the talk and stick to our mission and values in everything I do," says CEO David Reiling. "Being an impact leader means making tough decisions and removing barriers so that my team and those we influence can focus on using their unique abilities to create positive impact. My biggest challenge has been convincing the corporate world that doing well financially and being a force for good aren’t conflicting narratives — in fact, your mission will add to your profit margins. I overcame this by setting an example: We have consistently increased profits while basing our business around closing the financial equity gap. Collaborative leadership is taking every viewpoint into account, from the C-suite to the teller. Every decision we make affects a great number of people, and we've realized that more input leads to better outcomes. I want to hear from our frontline workers about decisions at the bank; I also want to know how the community feels about these decisions. A diverse set of voices helps drive decisions representative of all stakeholders." www.SunriseBanks.com HEALTHCARE 1. CVS Health 2. Smile Brands 3. Goodroot 4. Warriors Heart 5.
