Houston-based Amegy Bank recently announced that Dallas native Carlos Munguia has been promoted from Dallas region president to president and CEO of Amegy Bank–Dallas/Fort Worth. In his expanded role, he will lead the bank’s strategic expansion, business development and brand awareness efforts across the metroplex.

“In arguably the most diversified economic city in the U.S., I am confident that Carlos will guide Amegy’s DFW team toward continued success,” says Steve Stephens, CEO. “Amegy Bank-DFW is fortunate to have two highly respected bankers—Carlos and Brandon Bledsoe [Amegy Bank’s Fort Worth market president]—spearheading the charge in our collective goal of helping families and businesses in the community prosper.”

Munguia’s banking and finance experience spans more than 40 years during which he has advised high-performing, local middle-market companies in corporate financing, financial positioning and growth strategies. Since joining Amegy Bank in 2017, Munguia has leveraged his decades-long relationships and niche market insights to grow market shares across all lines of business.

Among other leadership roles, Munguia serves the civic and business community as a member of the Salesmanship Club of Dallas, vice chairman of the University of North Texas System board of regents, VISTAGE chief executives advisory board, Dallas Citizens Council and past chairman of the Park Cities YMCA board and advisory board of the Ryan College of Business at the University of North Texas.

Munguia assumed the Dallas/Fort Worth president and CEO position following Kirk Wiginton’s move to a market executive role earlier this year. Wiginton now oversees the bank’s statewide business development and young banker mentorship initiatives.

Established in 1990, Amegy Bank, a division of Zions Bancorporation NA, operates more than 75 locations across Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth and Central Texas.
