Angele Forrest
Arkansas Public Relations, IBERIABANK
For 125 years, IBERIABANK has earned a stellar reputation for providing clients competitive banking products and services delivered by a dynamic team of bankers. Since 2007, we have been an integral part of the Little Rock community. A core part of our mission is to be a strong steward of the community, and I am proud to play an integral role in achieving that goal. I work with our local team to build our brand through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, public or private events and media.
On Power
People often underestimate the power of listening. I felt most powerful when I pulled off the perfect customer experience! A true sign of power is influencing an outcome.
On Motivation
When I give or receive a well-placed and sincere “thank you” I am inspired. My career goal is to continue to challenge myself with new experiences.
On Success
I am grateful for what I have achieved thus far as an individual and as a family with my husband.
Why I love what I do because it is energizing to work through partnerships to support organizations and the communities that we live in.
Powerful Day
A powerful day for me is feeling the satisfaction of a positive impact on a customer experience, enjoying the impact I have made in the community, and bringing a broad smile to my children’s faces. Individually, these are each powerful experiences for me, but I also thrive on a busy day so a trifecta is when they’ve all occurred in a 24-hour period!
