In April, Raleigh, North Carolina-based First Citizens Bank announced that Chris Stringer has been named area executive for the Dallas/Fort Worth market. A Texas native, he has nearly 30 years of experience serving clients across the metroplex. First Citizens Bank operates nine locations in Texas and employs approximately 200 associates in the North Texas region.
Springer joins First Citizens from Bank OZK, for which he led commercial banking for the Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston markets. He has held leadership roles at a number of financial institutions in the area, with a strong focus in commercial lending.
Stringer holds an MBA degree from the University of Texas–Dallas and a BBA degree from Texas A&M University.
“Chris brings deep regional knowledge and a strong track record of building client relationships, making him well-positioned to lead our growth in this important market,” says Matt Kuczkowski, regional executive vice president.
Established in 1898, First Citizens Bank operates more than 500 banking offices across the nation.
