Regions reports officer changesBirmingham, Ala.-based Regions Financial Corp., Nashville's largest bank, said Monday its chief financial officer, Irene Esteves, has resigned to pursue other interests and has been replaced with David Turner, previously head of internal audit for the bank.
The bank also said human resources director David Edmonds has been named chief administrative officer.
Regions previously announced the retirement of chairman and CEO Dowd Ritter, whom Gray son Hall will replace as president and chief executive officer effective April 1.
The bank has suffered losses four of the last five quarters, most recently recording a $606 million loss in the fourth quarter, mostly on beefing up its loan loss provision.
Separately, the bank also reported Monday that retiring CEO Ritter will be paid $475,000 in his first year as a consultant to Regions starting April 1, for performing no more than 75 days of work. His paycheck gradually reduces until the fifth and final year, when he will be paid $100,000.
