Rowland has been a prominent figure in the banking industry, providing oversight of Lead Bank's marketing and technology functions. He is a member of the bank's executive and loan committees. His expertise and leadership have been recognised, as he was named a Top 10 Most Innovative CEOs for 2018 by INV Fintech.
Rowland's speaking engagements extend beyond Lead Bank, as he has been a featured speaker at national banking conferences such as Bank Innovation 2018, Lend Connect 2018, and FintechTalents 2020.
In addition to his work in the banking sector, Rowland is deeply involved in community activities.

Rowland was also awarded the 2018 Community Banker of the Year for the Central Region by the Independent Community Bankers of America.

He earned his Juris Doctor degree from Boston College Law School and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University in English language and literature. Rowland furthered his academic pursuits by earning a doctorate degree in English literature from Yale University.
Despite extensive online searches, there are no results that document Rowland as the keynote speaker at Park University's Kansas City Area Commencement in 2022. However, given his prominence in the banking industry and community involvement, it is not unexpected for him to be selected for this prestigious role.
We look forward to hearing Rowland's keynote address at the upcoming Park University Commencement ceremony.
Rowland's extensive experience in finance and business, coupled with his involvement in education and self-development, makes him an ideal keynote speaker at Park University's Commencement ceremony. As a prominent figure in both the banking industry and the community, his insights could benefit students of business as well as those seeking higher learning.
