Baker Cunningham
SVP, Chief Lending Officer, Bank of Little Rock
HOW I KNEW THIS WAS MY PASSION
When I experienced the relationships lending builds. Working with people to understand their goals, earning their trust, and creating financial solutions that positively impact their lives make this career incredibly meaningful.
WHAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK TO MY JOB EVERY DAY
My incredible teammates and a shared mission. After 20+ years together, our commitment to delivering the best possible customer experience remains strong.
NONPROFIT I WISH MORE PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT
My parents both lived with dementia, so I admire the UAMS Foundation and the Reynolds Institute on Aging. Led by Dr. Jeanne Wei, their groundbreaking research and compassionate care are making a difference in people’s lives.
BEST CAREER MOMENT SO FAR
The recent completion of a successful capital raise at Bank of Little Rock. Sharing our vision with investors and securing new capital has created momentum and excitement for the bank’s future.
