KeyCorp (KEY) in Cleveland has named a new chief credit officer.
Maria Teresa Tejada will join the $89 billion-asset company on Aug. 12, it said Tuesday. She succeeds William Hartmann, who was promoted to chief risk officer last July, a KeyCorp spokeswoman said.
Tejada will join KeyCorp from Goldman Sachs (GS), where she is a managing director who oversees risk underwriting in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. She has been with Goldman since 1996; previously she worked for Smith Barney and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Tejada will lead KeyCorp's credit-risk management and will report to Hartmann.
Her "experience and strong leadership skills will be a tremendous asset to Key," Hartmann said in a news release. "Her background in credit risk management, as well as client advisory roles, makes her an excellent choice for this role."
