First Internet Bank is pleased to announce that Nicole Lorch, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been selected by the Indianapolis Business Journal as a 2017 Woman of Influence.
This prestigious honor is reserved for a select group of Central Indiana women. Ms. Lorch is being recognized for her outstanding work across the five categories of professional excellence, leadership, vision, community service, and mentoring.
“I am thrilled to see Nicole honored with such an esteemed acknowledgement within our local Indianapolis community,” said David Becker, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Internet Bank. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Nicole since she was right out of college. It’s been a privilege and an honor to watch her grow personally and professionally over the years, and this recognition is a true testament to the influential person she has become.”
Ms. Lorch first joined the Bank in February 1999 as Director of Marketing. Throughout her tenure, she served as the Bank’s Vice President of Marketing and Technology from 2003-2011, and as Senior Vice President of Retail Banking from 2011-2017. Ms. Lorch was appointed Chief Operating Officer of First Internet Bank in January 2017. Her tenure in various roles has enabled her to learn all aspects of the business and she has contributed greatly to the Bank’s success.
Outside of the workplace, Ms. Lorch is steadfast in her contributions to the local community, particularly through local non-profits. She works with the Indianapolis Neighborhood Housing Partnership (INHP), the United Way of Central Indiana, the Malpas Scholarship Trust at DePauw University (her alma mater), and the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana.
“I am truly honored to be recognized alongside a cadre of accomplished women working to advance professional and philanthropic causes,” said Ms. Lorch. “I strongly believe each person is only as good as one’s team, so this award is more a reflection of the outstanding community where I work and live – both within First Internet Bank and Indianapolis.”
