Fifth Third Appoints Darren King as Head of Regional Banking<\/b><\/p>\n

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Fifth Third (NASDAQ: FITB) announces the appointment of Darren King as executive vice president, head of regional banking, effective immediately. King will report directly to CEO Tim Spence and will join Fifth Third\u2019s Enterprise management team, the Bank\u2019s senior-most governing body. Prior to joining Fifth Third, King spent 24 years at M&T in several leadership roles.\n<\/p>\n

\nFifth Third\u2019s regional banking model provides a strategic advantage by aligning regional teams across key businesses to offer clients strategic counsel, innovative banking solutions and execution. As the head of regional banking, King will drive strategy, cultivate talent and pursue growth across the Bank\u2019s footprint, with responsibility for the middle market commercial banking and wealth and asset management in each region. Fifth Third\u2019s wealth business is one example of how the regional teams deliver \u201cOne Bank\u201d solutions through relationship-based strategies. More than 75% of new Private Bank assets come from referrals made by Commercial and Retail Banking business lines.\n<\/p>\n

\n“Darren is a seasoned leader with a strong track record leading business teams to realize successful financial outcomes, and I\u2019m thrilled to welcome him to Fifth Third,” said Tim Spence, chairman, CEO and president of Fifth Third. “His leadership and business development skills will be immediately impactful for our clients and our employees as we continue to grow across our footprint. I look forward to partnering with him to demonstrate both the value and the strength of our regional model.”\n<\/p>\n

\n“I’m thrilled to lead Fifth Third\u2019s regional banking organization into a dynamic future,” said King. “Throughout my career, I\u2019ve had the honor of working with complex, rapidly growing businesses; diverse and talented leadership teams; and significant clients. I\u2019m eager to build upon the exceptional foundation the Fifth Third team has established to drive future growth for this remarkable franchise.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nKing succeeds Kris Garrett who is retiring. Garrett joined Fifth Third in 2017 to lead the Private Bank and ascended to head of Wealth & Asset Management in 2019 and assumed the role of group regional president in 2022. Prior to Fifth Third, Garrett held senior roles at CIBC and JP Morgan. Garrett will remain at Fifth Third through early June 2025 to ensure a smooth transition.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe rapid growth and exceptional performance of our Wealth and Asset Management offerings are due to Kris\u2019s expertise and leadership,\u201d Spence continued. \u201cI am deeply grateful for her contributions to our success.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
