The $125 billion-asset bank said on Thursday that Kate Danella will be head of strategic planning and corporate development. Danella will lead a team that specializes in enterprisewide strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions and divestitures and corporate development. She will report to John Turner, president and CEO of Regions.

Leslie Carter-Prall will take on Danella’s previous role of head of private wealth management. Carter-Prall joined Regions in 1991 and has held several positions, including Indiana area president.

Regions has made a number of executive moves since Turner took over as CEO for Grayson Hall in July, including promoting a regional president to head its new office of community affairs and hiring a former General Electric executive to oversee diversity and inclusion.

Danella “brings a strong background in strategy, customer service, team building and creative thinking to this important role,” Turner said in a press release. “Under her leadership, Regions will work collaboratively across the company and with external stakeholders to create shared value for our customers, associates, communities and shareholders.”
