In late June, Dallas-based Comerica Bank announced that Stephen Jeffrey has been named senior vice president/Austin market president. He will lead market strategy, collaboration, community development and overall growth, as well as direct the region’s commercial team as group manager of business banking and middle market.
“What sets Stephen apart is not just his expertise in banking, but his deep generational roots in this community,” says Corey Bailey, executive vice president/executive director of middle market and business banking. “He brings decades of industry knowledge, strong client relationships and a level of trust that only comes from being truly connected to the people and the market.”
Jeffrey has worked in private and commercial banking for more than 27 years in the Central Texas area, most recently with PNC Bank. The fourth-generation Austin native’s family has been active in the community for more than a century as artists, supporters and advocates in music, local business and public service. Jeffrey, also an accomplished lifelong musician, currently serves on the board of directors for Austin PBS, Headliners Club, Austin Opera and Health Alliance for Austin Musicians, for which he serves as treasurer.
A Leadership Austin Essential graduate, Jeffrey is a University of Wisconsin-Madison Graduate School of Banking alumnus and earned a Certificate of Executive Leadership from the university’s School of Business. He also holds a BBA degree in finance from Texas State University.
Established in 1849 in Detroit, Michigan, Comerica Bank has locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Texas, and is expanding into new regions, including North Carolina and Colorado.
