Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE: RF) announced that Chief Administrative Officer Dave Keenan will retire at the end of 2026 after more than two decades with the company, triggering a series of executive leadership changes.

Kate Danella, currently head of Consumer Banking, will succeed Keenan as Chief Administrative Officer. In her new role, she will oversee strategic planning, digital banking, core platform modernization, corporate marketing, and customer advocacy, among other functions.

Danella, Jordan, and Santone will begin transitioning into their new roles immediately. Keenan will move into a leadership advisory role starting Sept. 1 and will remain with the company through year-end to support the transition.

"Dave's leadership has strengthened every part of Regions Bank, and his commitment to developing future leaders positions us well for continued growth," Turner said in a statement.
