On July 13, Birmingham, Alabama-based Regions Bank announced that Cameron Cooper has been promoted to market executive in Smith County and surrounding areas in East Texas. As a commercial banking relationship manager, he will continue meeting the financial needs of businesses across Tyler, Longview, Lufkin and Nacogdoches while also working with colleagues to develop and implement the bank’s community engagement strategy in the area.
Cooper returned to his hometown of Tyler in 2022 after spending 14 years in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, where he held a number of banking roles serving national and international clients with up to $1 billion in revenue. His career also includes roles in branch management, treasury management and as a relationship manager for business clients. Before rejoining Regions Bank in 2020, Cooper served JPMorgan Chase from 2018 to 2020 and Regions Bank for two years prior to that. He has also served clients of Bank of America and PlainsCapital Bank.
Cooper earned a BBA degree from the University of Texas–Tyler. Actively involved with several nonprofits and mentorship programs, he serves as the vice chair of development and a board member of the East Texas Symphony Orchestra, as well as a board member of the Tyler Area Business Education Council. Cooper is also a member of the University of Texas–Tyler Soules College of Business corporate advisory council.
“Cameron Cooper’s longtime relationships in Tyler, along with his focus on partnering with our teams across the bank to provide practical financial solutions, are a differentiator in fulfilling that commitment,” says John Turner, president and CEO of Regions Financial Corp.
“Returning home to work alongside the area’s business leaders is an incredibly rewarding experience,” Cooper says. “I’m grateful for this added opportunity to thoughtfully serve the Tyler community through financial investments and the volunteerism of our associates.”
Established in 1928, Regions Bank serves customers across the South, Midwest and Texas with more than 1,250 banking offices.
