BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Aug. 18, 2020 –Regions Bank today announced that Barb Godin, deputy chief risk officer and chief credit officer, will retire from Regions at the end of 2020.

Godin’s retirement follows a successful 45-year career in the financial services industry. She joined Regions in 2003 as a consumer credit executive and has played a significant role in strengthening the bank’s credit culture and providing valuable leadership in credit policy, credit administration and problem asset management.

“Barb is an outstanding leader who has made significant contributions to Regions and the financial services industry during her long and distinguished career,” said President and CEO John Turner. “Her expertise and guiding hand led us through significant disruptions in the industry and the economy. During the financial crisis and the years that followed, Barb led the charge to rebuild and restructure our credit risk management processes, fostering a culture of trust and transparency. She has developed a talented and highly capable team that places the bank in a position of strength, and I wish her all the best as she retires.”
