Succession planning

The Maryland company has hired interim CEO Susan Riel to officially take over the post.

Kathryn Davis will take over later this month following the retirement of CEO Hank Barrett.

Credit unions announced a variety of personnel moves and recognition for others, including one employee who helped a member needing medical attention.

Paul Taylor previously served as CEO of Guaranty Bancorp in Denver, which was sold in January to Independent Bank.

Doug Fagan was named president as Sundie Seefried, who will remain CEO, spends more time on the credit union's cannabis banking division.

Luis A. Reyes Jr. takes over for the Rev. Arnold O. Pierson, who served as president since the institution opened in June 2016.

A successor to Robert Allen, who has led the $7.3 billion-asset institution for more than three decades, should be named soon.

Royal Bank of Scotland's top banker will leave the state-backed lender within a year, in an expected move that potentially paves the way for a senior female executive to take his role.

Investors seem to be betting that a long-rumored sale of the Dallas company is on hold now that it has named a new CEO, but analysts say it remains an attractive takeover target for a larger regional bank.

The Dallas company finally made the move that had long been expected: Curtis Farmer succeeds Ralph Babb as chief executive. However, Farmer will still report to Babb, who stays on as executive chairman.
