Caroline Krider is a senior vice president and the Milwaukee market leader of National Corporate Banking at U.S. Bank.
The daughter of a chief financial officer, Caroline was encouraged by her father to consider banking as a career. She took his advice, joining First Wisconsin National Bank – which was later acquired by U.S. Bank – in 1984 as a management trainee.
In the years that followed, Caroline served as a Money Center consultant, a credit analyst, an assistant relationship manager in the Wisconsin Corporate Banking Division and a relationship manager in Global Industries & Services.
As a leader in her field, Caroline has learned several key things.
First, it’s important to manage both up and down and, while doing so, communicate often, listen closely and ask a lot of questions.
Second, everyone should ask for what they want as they build toward their career goals.
Third, take the long view. As someone who has been with one employer for 39 years, Caroline has gained a variety of experiences by moving around the company. “Time changes everything,” she says.
Throughout the course of her career, Caroline has been highly involved in her community – both within U.S. Bank and within the broader Milwaukee community.
She’s served on the boards of seven community organizations during her career and she currently sits on the board of the Wisconsin Humane Society, the Zoological Society of Milwaukee and REDgen.
Caroline graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Denison University and earned an MBA from Marquette University. She is also a graduate of the Pacific Coast Banking School.
