By Edlyn Cardoza

Raistone recently announced that former HSBC executive Diane S. Reyes has been appointed to its Board of Directors. She will drive new initiatives and help expand access to working capital for businesses.

Reyes brings cash management & cross border experience to Raistone. She retired from HSBC in December 2021, where she most recently served as Group General Manager and Head of Global Liquidity and Cash Management. In that role, she oversaw a multi-billion-dollar global business with more than 80 products and services.

Reyes has also been a strong advocate for diversity and inclusion in the financial services sector, acting as a senior sponsor for diversity programs within HSBC & Citi. She has also served on the Board of the Grace Institute, which offers training to economically disadvantaged women, and as treasurer of the New York Race for the Cure, an affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Diane S. Reyes, Board of Directors, said: “I am looking forward to using my experience of delivering leading cash management solutions to Raistone, and supporting the company with its mission of providing equitable access to financing for businesses. Raistone technology empowers companies across industries to gain control of their finances, empowering them to invest, expand, and excel.”

Reyes has consistently been recognised 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. Diane has an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and completed the Program for Executives at Carnegie Mellon University.

Dave Skirzenski, Chief Executive of Raistone, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Diane to the Raistone team, where her years of invaluable skill and experience will help us on our journey to level the financial playing field for businesses of all sizes. In particular, Diane’s track record in promoting diversity and inclusion closely aligns with the Raistone core mission.”
