(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nForbes\u2019 list includes executives from several industries. Regions Bank is one of two regional lenders with a CIO represented.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSpecifically, Forbes cited Duggirala and Regions for the bank\u2019s fast response and success in serving communities through the Paycheck Protection Program, a lending program launched by the U.S. Small Business Administration to help entrepreneurs facing unprecedented financial challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Regions Bank is both an SBA Preferred Lender and one of America\u2019s most experienced SBA lenders.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAmala is a visionary leader who is leveraging technology and innovation to benefit our customers and deliver financial solutions that meet their needs,\u201d said John Turner, President and CEO of Regions Financial Corp. \u201cHer commitment to excellence is shared throughout our teams, and it\u2019s creating a more beneficial customer experience as we serve the people and businesses who turn to Regions for essential financial services. Amala and her teams are proving just how crucial forward-thinking leadership is to the future of business and banking. We are proud Forbes recognized Amala\u2019s work and the work of our teams. We believe our customers are recognizing their impact every day as well.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDuggirala pointed to the shared vision across her teams to leverage their experience in ways that deliver on Regions Bank\u2019s mission to make life better for customers and communities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s humbling to see this type of recognition,\u201d Duggirala said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of what our Operations and Technology teams have accomplished, and their efforts \u2013 and that of all our associates across the company \u2013 have helped ensure that we continue to provide great service to customers across all areas of the bank. This past year, we witnessed just how crucial and timely our investments in data and technology have been. The pandemic didn\u2019t change our company\u2019s focus on relationship banking; it challenged our teams to deliver on that commitment to choice and convenience in new, innovative ways.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDuggirala is responsible for Regions Enterprise Operations, Information Technology and Data and Analytics. She joined Regions in 2017 and previously was Chief Technology Officer at a large fintech company, where she led the technology team in advancing the automation and scalability of the company\u2019s platform to drive lending for organizations worldwide.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDuggirala holds a Master of Science from Columbia University in New York with a specialization in Business and Digital Transformation, as well as a Master of Business Administration from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a certification in Advanced Project Management from Stanford University. She earned her degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Osmania University in Hyderabad, India.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Regions Financial Corporation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nRegions Financial Corporation (NYSE:RF), with $153 billion in assets, is a member of the S&amp;P 500 Index and is one of the nation\u2019s largest full-service providers of consumer and commercial banking, wealth management, and mortgage products and services.
