Fifth Third Bancorp announced the appointment of Jamie Leonard as chief financial officer. The company also named Bob Shaffer as chief risk officer, to succeed Leonard, and Peg Jula as chief human resources officer, succeeding Shaffer.
Leonard, who joined Fifth Third in 1999 and was named chief risk officer just earlier this year, has previously led bank-wide initiatives for managing risk and sustaining a strong risk culture. He has had oversight of all critical risk functions and responsibility for the bank’s governance and strategy for risk management, including relationships with key regulatory agencies. Leonard previously served as Fifth Third’s treasurer, overseeing the bank’s investment portfolio, funding and liquidity, capital management, and investor relations. He will continue to report to Chairman and CEO Greg Carmichael in his new role.
