On Tuesday Regions Bank announced that veteran Commercial Banking Relationship Manager Denny Moton has been appointed to serve as the company's market executive for Shreveport and the surrounding areas.

“Regions Bank values our business and community connections in Shreveport, and for many years, Denny Moton has been at the center of our success in serving this area,” said John Turner, President and CEO of Regions Financial Corp.

Region is one of America's largest full-service providers of consumer and commercial banking services and has remained a consistent and steady banking provider in the Shreveport-Bossier area. Moton brings with him commercial banking and will be able to meet the complex financial needs of this area.

Turner said, "Denny’s experience and vision will significantly benefit our customers, our associates and the community as a whole. As a Shreveport native who has built his career in this market, he brings superior local insights to this expanded role, and we are excited to build on our legacy of service through his leadership."

As market executive, Moton will lead Regions360 which allows bankers from Regions’ Commercial Banking, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management divisions to work collaboratively to deliver the full range of Regions’ financial capabilities to clients.

Moton has been with Regions since 2009 and began his banking career with Capital On in 2004. Since the start of his career he has served in leadership positions on several nonprofit boards including his current role as Chairman Elect of Junior Achievement of North Louisiana. Moton succeeds longtime Shreveport Market Executive Mark Evans, who was recently appointed to serve as the bank’s market executive in its newly established San Antonio market.

Moton said, "Mark inspired a level of achievement and service that always encouraged the members of his team to be their best for our clients and our neighbors. I want to continue to develop those values and build on Regions’ commitment to deliver customized financial solutions for the people and businesses we serve. Our roles extend beyond banking; they include giving back to the communities we call home. We have an exceptional team here, and I am honored to lead their collaboration moving forward.”
