He joins Regions Bank from Rosen Advisors, LLC, a consulting practice serving the retail and commercial banking industry.

“Regions Bank has demonstrated a strong commitment to meeting the needs of small business clients by providing expertise and access to capital through both traditional loans and government guaranteed loan opportunities,” said Rosen. “I'm looking forward to partnering with our bankers and communities across all of the markets we serve to help small businesses grow and prosper.”
