Republic Business Credit promoted Katherine Hebert Seghers to vice president, marketing manager. In this role, Seghers will continue to lead the company’s marketing strategy, brand development and communications efforts as Republic builds on the momentum of its 15th anniversary, celebrations of which Seghers spearheaded.
Seghers joined Republic in November 2023 in an accounting capacity, but her role quickly evolved to include marketing and special projects. During her first year, she assumed leadership of the company’s marketing function and has since overhauled Republic’s website, launched a refreshed branding tied to its 15th anniversary, recognized awards and significantly expanded its social media presence.
“Katherine’s trajectory at Republic is a testament to what happens when talent, creativity, and initiative meet the right opportunity,” Robert Meyers, CEO of Republic Business Credit, said. “She quickly demonstrated her capabilities and interests extend far beyond accounting. Katherine brings fresh insight, strong instincts and is empowered to implement a shared marketing vision. This promotion is a well-earned recognition of the impact she has already made on our company.”
Seghers’ impact has been felt companywide as she executes a broad portfolio of internal initiatives spanning employee communications, professional development and company events across five offices.
“Republic always felt like the right place for me, but I couldn’t have predicted just how rewarding this journey would be,” Seghers said. “I’m honored to continue showcasing the power of a partnership with Republic, but, more importantly, the dedicated team making it all possible.”
An active member of the Secured Finance Network, Seghers has earned the SFNet Secured Finance Certified Professional (SFCP) designation and serves on the Emerging Leaders Committee, where she also oversees the Emerging Leaders Newsletter. She is a member of both the American Marketing Association and the Public Relations Society of America. Seghers was named a 2025 Next Gen Leader by ABF Journal and was recognized on the New Orleans City Business Power List: Banking & Finance 2025. Seghers holds a bachelor of arts in communications from Loyola University New Orleans and an MBA from the University of New Orleans.
