Early life and education

Finucane was born to an Irish-American family, and raised as the fourth of six children in Newton, Massachusetts.[1] The lineages of both her parents trace back to County Cork.[2] Her father, William, was a lawyer who worked for the Boston Patriots and local banks. Her mother, Mary, was a homemaker and distant relative of Tip O'Neill.[1] Finucane was friends with one of Robert Q. Crane's daughters, and Crane introduced Finucane to the then Mayor of Boston, Kevin White. Following completion of her studies at the University of New Hampshire, Finucane worked in the mayor's arts office.[1]

Career in banking

Finucane entered the banking industry when she joined Fleet Financial in 1995, serving as head of corporate affairs and marketing.[1] She worked to improve the bank's reputation following a subprime lending crisis, and helped in company acquisitions.[1] Fleet Financial later merged with BankBoston, then Bank of America.[1] Finucane became FleetBoston Financial's executive vice president for corporate marketing and communications.[3] She was Bank of America's global chief strategy and marketing officer after the financial crisis of 2007–2008 when the bank lost 55% of its value, "symboliz[ing] all that was wrong" with US banks.[1][4][5]

She became the company's vice chair in 2015.[6][7] Finucane also chairs the company's environmental, social and corporate governance committee, leads customer analytics, global marketing, and public policy strategies,[8][9] and chairs the Bank of American Charitable Foundation.[10] According to American Banker, she works with the White House and the World Economic Forum.[11]

In mid-2017, Finucane was reportedly considered for Uber's vacant chief executive officer position,[12] following the resignation of Travis Kalanick.[5][13] In September 2017, she led the Bank of America's European bank board.[14][15]
