🏆 Honoree Spotlight |
We are proud to recognize Adriana Kong Romero as a recipient of the 2026 ACEL Impact Leader Award for Economic Empowerment Leadership!
This award honors leaders who drive economic growth, create opportunity, and advance financial empowerment across diverse communities and industries — and Adriana's career is a remarkable example of exactly that.
As President of Bank of America in Tucson and Registered Senior Relationship Manager in Global Commercial Banking, Adriana has spent more than two decades connecting businesses, communities, and institutions with the capital, resources, and strategic guidance they need to grow. She advises middle market companies across credit, treasury, and investment banking — helping organizations create jobs, expand, and thrive.
As Tucson President, she leads Bank of America's local efforts to advance economic mobility across the region, partnering with nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and business stakeholders to build a stronger, more inclusive economy. A committed civic leader, Adriana also serves on boards focused on economic development, education, and access to opportunity.
Join us on Friday, August 14th at the 2026 ACEL Leadership Awards Gala in Tempe to celebrate Adriana and all of our honorees!
