SOLID FOUNDATION:
People. Integrity. Excellence.

After initial exposure to the banking industry in internal audit and operations, Griffin spent over 15 years in operations management for a regional bank and then as an executive responsible for all aspects of treasury management sales, product and delivery for First Interstate and Wells Fargo. During the latter, his leadership propelled the Corporate Treasury Management Division to ten years of double-digit growth in customers, volumes and revenues. By excelling at building teams focused on the client, he has a knack for solidifying relationships and identifying meaningful actions that create results and add real value.

Driven by his entrepreneurial spirit he teamed up with the founder of The RWC Group more than 25 years ago with a shared vision to innovate the delivery of interim resources and consulting services to financial institutions and government agencies. When the opportunity presented itself, Griffin acted quickly to buy the company with his business partner Debra Yaley. With a strong financial acumen for quantifying the results of getting specific things done, he has forged many meaningful and lasting relationships with clients over the years. Under his leadership and vision, The RWC Group has maintained profitability and delivered specialists with vital expertise while the banking industry and general economy has experienced periods of significant change and innovation.

Debra is a former banker with 40 years of experience and in-depth knowledge of bank operations, Treasury Management, and corporate, commercial and retail banking. She began her career in the Midwest community banking market, followed with being selected for a Management Training Program at First National Bank of Omaha and rounding out her banking tenure at Bank of America (legacy NationsBank).

Initially focused on Correspondent Banking, Retail and Branch Banking, she transitioned to Corporate Treasury Management where she led a team that was instrumental in the successful knowledge transfer and professional development of sales, product, client services and client onboarding personnel resulting in significantly improved Greenwich corporate client satisfaction scores during a large merger and site consolidation effort. She excels in understanding the value proposition for all sizes of banks, is rigorous in the pursuit of positive client experiences and satisfaction, and has successfully exceeded annual goals throughout her career.

With a goal of owning her own business, Debra joined The RWC Group in 2004 and teamed up with Griffin Gunter to acquire the company in 2007. As President of the company she is responsible for the day to day operations of the business along with leading new business development, high value partnerships and client experience efforts.

Upon graduation from college, Kurt hoped he would have a career in the financial services industry. Starting with the Internal Audit function of a bank holding company, he spent almost five years learning all aspects of credit underwriting, loan processing, operations, trust and other areas of banking. He became proficient in all manner of transactions, the general ledger and the myriad of financial and performance metrics that are used by investors and regulators. The next five years was in the Treasury Management division performing in various product and project management, sales and marketing roles. During a time of extreme consolidation within the banking industry he became an integral part of turning the bank’s decisions on product branding and delivery into arming the bank’s sales force with the rationale and collateral to create an effective marketing campaign.

The next 11 years were spent with a FinTech provider of software and consulting services. With rotations through financial planning and analysis, technology, product management, sales, and risk management and control, Kurt honed his skills on assimilating teams, managing clients and profitability, and regulatory reporting. Moving on to become Director of Operational Risk for a small but growing bank, Kurt spent the next 11 years creating the 3 Lines of Defense, governance and Enterprise Risk oversight infrastructure for a bank that grew from $3B to $33B under his tenure. Responsibilities included managing and reporting risks for IT, operations, third parties, business continuity and compliance. Kurt worked extensively with the Board of Directors, federal regulatory agencies and Internal Audit to inform and provide insight into the bank’s risk appetite and response.

In 2019, Kurt opted to join The RWC Group and leverage his experience and provide bank clients with the interim resources and subject matter expertise to achieve their objectives.
