She is respected for her strategic insight and aptitude for working directly with marketers and strategic partners to create, transform and reimagine a brand. We are thrilled to have Kim’s leadership at Reliant for this important mission.”
At Ascend, York was a driving force for change. As the organizational leader for their strategic planning efforts, she identified and secured key partnerships as avenues of growth, developed resource strategies to improve employee culture, and guided the brand’s voice to build awareness and relevance among target audiences. Among her accomplishments, York was the 2016 winner of the National Association of Federal Credit Union’s prestigious Professional of the Year Award.

“Technology and customer needs are rapidly shifting,” continued Ard. “Kim has the experience to help drive the strategic shifts at Reliant to ensure we are competitive for years to come.”
Said York, “One of the things that attracted me to Reliant was their emphasis on cultural excellence – recognizing and understanding the bank’s brand internally, then systematically projecting it outward to differentiate itself and secure effective growth. I have been immersed in the credit union philosophy of ‘people helping people’ and believe it is easily transferable to Reliant Bank’s mission of providing high-touch banking support to its customers.”
