Will Lead Unified Florida Region
Fifth Third Bancorp (Nasdaq: FITB) announced today that David A. Call
has been named its regional president for Florida. He will report to
Mike Michael, group regional president. Call currently serves as
president of the South Florida region, which now will be united with the
North Florida under one statewide organization.
Call has been with Fifth Third since 2002 and held numerous positions in
the Commercial and Retail lines of business before being promoted to
president of Fifth Third Bank (Ohio Valley) in 2005. In 2008, he led the
integration of the First Charter bank acquisition.
Mike Michael commented, “I am pleased that David now will oversee the
entire state of Florida. His ability to assume an expanded role is
testimony to Fifth Third’s ability to develop talent within the Bank.”
As part of the change, Call will relocate to Tampa from Naples, where he
has had a strong record of community involvement, currently serving as
chairman of the Florida Gulf Coast University Foundation and on the
Board of Directors of the Florida Chamber of Commerce. He was chairman
of the American Heart Association 2012 Heart Ball and in 2014 chaired
the American Cancer Society’s Cattle Barons Ball for Southwest Florida.
Call said, “I am excited about the new role and look forward to leading
the Bank as we execute our strategic plan across all Florida markets.”
He also noted that he would work closely during the transition with
Brian Lamb, formerly North Florida regional president, who has just been
named to the newly created position of chief corporate responsibility
and reputation officer for Fifth Third Bancorp. Lamb will relocate to
the corporate headquarters in Cincinnati.
Call said, “Brian has helped build Fifth Third’s reputation in Tampa and
throughout North Florida, and has set a high standard for the Bank’s
community involvement. I look forward to continuing the great work Brian
started.”
