Dallas-based Comerica Bank has announced that Vickie Cohn will lead its Central and South Texas retail team, replacing Theresa Bazan, who recently was promoted to national sales enablement director for consumer and small business banking. In this senior vice president role, Cohn will be responsible for the development and leadership of the Austin, Kerrville, Houston and San Antonio markets’ retail banking center network.
“Vickie brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to the regional director role,” says Rhonda Davenport, national retail banking director. “She is a well-respected leader who continuously focuses on building a cohesive team and inspires colleagues to focus on customer experience and community involvement.”
Cohn, who has more than 25 years of retail banking experience, joined Comerica in 2009 and most recently managed the Houston North District. Throughout her career, she has held various leadership roles in retail banking, including as a multi-state training manager. In addition to her day-to-day responsibilities, Cohn is communications chair for Comerica’s South Texas Women Forum, an employee resource network group committed to recruiting, developing, supporting and retaining female employees at the bank.
Cohn earned a BBA degree from the University of Texas–Austin. An active community volunteer and Junior League of The Woodlands member, she also serves on the Credit Coalition Committee, an organization that empowers consumers through financial and homebuyer counseling and education to make informed, reasonable and responsible decisions regarding their financial and housing goals.
Established in 1849, Comerica Bank operates in Texas, Arizona, California, Florida and Michigan, with select businesses operating in several other states, as well as in Canada and Mexico.
