On March 28, Dallas-based Texas Security Bank announced changes to its leadership team. Drew Keith, the bank’s former chief financial officer and chief operating officer, has been promoted to president. Jamie Britton will step into the CFO and COO roles.
As one of the co-founders of Texas Security Bank, Keith has extensive experience in both commercial banking and finance. Over the past 25 years, he has restructured debt obligations totaling $1 billion, with $650 million of debtor obligations as CFO and more than $300 million as a creditor bank officer. His primary goals in this new role will be to oversee talent acquisition, hire and develop additional bankers and grow the organization’s new Tarrant County presence.
“I’m honored and proud to accept this leadership role, along with current CEO and Chairman Craig Scheef,” Keith says. “As an organization that values winning together, this opportunity will have a significant boost to the teamwork element at the bank.”
With more than 15 years of banking experience, Britton joins Texas Security Bank from Texas Capital Bank where he served as director of investor relations and corporate finance. He will work from the Metrocrest office where he will lead the finance and technology organizations to ensure the bank is ready to support its clients and markets as it accelerates into the coming phase of growth.
“I’m proud that Drew has accomplished what the board of directors and I expected of him over the past three years,” Scheef says. “The core services team has evolved and is now better positioned to support the bank’s growing needs. With this expanded leadership team now in place, I look forward to broadening our horizons for growth within our organization and community. Britton brings a breadth of financial services experience and will be an important addition to the Texas Security Bank leadership team and its growth.”
Established in 2008, Texas Security Bank has offices in Garland, Dallas, Farmers Branch and—coming soon—Southlake.
