Kelly started her journey in the banking and financial industry over two decades ago. Her digital prowess and eye for innovation skyrocketed Kelly into several leadership positions before she was recently appointed Chief Operating Officer at FirstBank, one of the nation’s ‘top-performing’ and largest privately-held banks. Today, the company operates with over $28 billion in assets and is known as Colorado’s largest locally headquartered bank. 

Thanks in part to Kelly’s many contributions, FirstBank is also considered an industry leader in digital banking and instant payments. For instance, it was the fourth bank in the country to launch Zelle^®, a fast, safe and easy way to send money to friends and family. Recently, it implemented Real-Time Payments^®, which reduces cash flow challenges by making funds immediately available, and IntraFi Cash Service (ICS), which allows customers to deposit over $250,000 while meeting FDIC insurance requirements. 

Kelly’s focus on making money management easier, secure and convenient for businesses and consumers alike has led FirstBank to be named among the top banks and fintechs nationwide for customer experience by an American Banker study. It was also recognized as Forbes “Best in State Banks,” and the No. 1 bank for customer satisfaction in the Southwest region.
