Minnesota's Finance & Commerce Magazine has named Sunrise Banks Vice President of Business Development Terri Banaszewsk and University Financial Corporation President Nichol Beckstrand among the top women in Minnesota finance. University Financial Corp. hired Beckstrand as its chief operating officer in 2006. When University, Park Midway, and Franklin National banks merged in 2013 to become Sunrise Banks, Beckstrand led the team that worked to merge processes, systems, legal entities and charters. “Public accounting used to be a male-dominated industry... I want to show that [women] can make it to the C-suite and have a family and a life,” Beckstrand said.
