Synply Welcomes Robyn Roof, Former BofA and KeyBanc Capital Markets Managing Director, to Advisory Board

Veteran banking executive brings 37 years of banking and debt capital markets expertise to shape the future of AI-powered loan syndication technology.

Synply, the AI-powered loan syndication platform for commercial banks, today announced the appointment of Robyn Roof to its Advisory Board. A widely respected figure in capital markets with a distinguished 37-year career advising commercial and investment banking clients, Roof brings unparalleled expertise in syndicated lending, institutional sales, and debt capital markets strategy to Synply's mission of modernizing the loan syndication process.

Throughout her career, Roof has built a proven track record of successfully balancing client relationship management and risk oversight while driving consistent, strong revenue generation across transformational capital raising transactions. Most recently, she served as Group Head and Managing Director at KeyBanc Capital Markets, where she joined in 2011 as a member of the Debt Capital Markets leadership team. At KeyBank, Roof was tasked with building out the loan syndicate, research, and institutional loan sales functions—bringing the same startup-to-scale leadership approach that defined her earlier career at Bank of America, where she spent 26 years. She now holds a board position at Raymond James Bank.

Shaping the future of loan syndication technology

In her advisory role, Roof will draw on decades of firsthand experience building and managing syndication desks to help guide Synply's product strategy and platform development. Her perspective will be instrumental in shaping the capabilities of Allo, Synply's AI-powered assistant, and ensuring the platform reflects the real-world workflows, pain points, and needs of syndication professionals across the industry.

"Robyn is one of the most accomplished leaders in this space," said Corbin Penland, CEO and Co-Founder of Synply. "Having someone of her caliber and experience on our advisory board is a testament to the opportunity we see in bringing modern technology to this space. Having served as an inaugural member of several syndicate desks, Robyn understands the inefficiencies, the manual processes, and the enormous potential for technology to transform how banks work together on deals. Her guidance will be invaluable as we continue building the platform that this industry needs."

"The efficiencies that can be gained by syndicators utilizing this next generation technology tool are tremendous and it allows the user to focus on their issuing and investing clients. The Synply team has delivered a complete and powerful tool that captures, enhances and drives the critical information flow across the entire platform," said Roof.

A recognized industry leader

Roof is a recognized thought leader in syndicated lending and capital markets, having served the industry through high-profile speaking engagements with organizations including the Loan Sales & Trading Association and other industry groups.
