Not everyone thinks "I'm going to be a banker when I grow up." Natalie Bartholomew is the exception. At a young age, she knew she wanted to be in banking, but she didn't know that career would unlock opportunities to connect and empower bankers across the country.
Building a brand, new operational departments, and new technology within a $500M+ asset community bank in northwest Arkansas isn't easy. But, doing all of that while being a mother to two boys and building a nationally-recognized women's empowerment platform (The Girl Banker), it goes without saying that banking has given Natalie as much back as she has poured into the industry.
