On May 15, Dallas-based Comerica Bank announced that David Milton has been named its Dallas market president. Additionally, he will serve as director/middle market and business banking, reporting to Corey Bailey, executive vice president/middle market and business banking.

As market president, Milton will manage business and community development efforts, including acquiring and strengthening relationships in North Texas, Arizona and Colorado. He also will oversee the middle market and business banking loan teams across this geographical footprint.

Milton joined Comerica Bank in 2004 as a group manager for middle market following a 15-year career at Bank of America as a senior relationship manager. In 2011, he assumed the role of regional director in business banking, with an emphasis on commercial/industrial and professional health care organizations. Since 2015, Milton has acted as senior vice president/national director of private banking.

“David is an accomplished leader with 35 years of relationship banking experience in North Texas,” Bailey says. “His extensive knowledge of middle market and business banking, in addition to his leadership role over the past eight years in private wealth management, make him a natural fit for this role.”

Milton earned bachelor’s degrees in finance and economics from Southern Methodist University. A longtime Dallas area community leader and volunteer, he previously served as chairman of the board and an executive committee member for Junior Achievement of Dallas. He also has held board positions with the Highland Park K-Life and Serve West Dallas, and has been an active fundraiser and volunteer with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and March of Dimes Dallas/Fort Worth.

Established in 1849, Comerica Bank celebrates its 175th anniversary this year. It continues to expand into new regions, most recently in North Carolina and Colorado. Comerica Bank has offices in 17 states and services 14 of the 15 largest U.S. metropolitan areas.
