From the FF Salon at Sibos 2023 we caught up with Barb MacLean, Head of Technology, at Coastal Community Bank to find out what makes her tick and why she’s passionate about the field she’s in. We hear about her journey from computing to business and the way she’s able to go beyond what some of the bigger banks can do when working with smaller community banks.

MacLean talks about the importance of the fintech and finance community, which she is an active and visible part of. Somewhere like Sibos is a great opportunity to make connections and build relationships. Of course, she says, it’s also important as an introvert to take time for yourself.

At Sibos 2023, Barb MacLean of Coastal Community Bank offered powerful insights into what makes community banking technology thrive—from strategic fintech partnerships to the importance of relationship-building across the industry.
