Huntington Bancshares names Brant Standridge president

In his new capacity, Standridge will be responsible for all of Huntington's revenue-generating businesses and will report directly to Steinour. Steinour intends to continue as Chairman and CEO for several more years, focusing on the company's strategic direction and execution.

Steinour expressed confidence in Standridge's leadership, citing his extensive banking experience, operational discipline, and customer focus. He stated that Standridge's expanded role will drive continued revenue growth and performance for the bank.

Standridge joined Huntington in April 2022 as president of consumer and business banking, where he managed various banking operations and led the bank's growth council. He played a key role in integrating acquisitions from Veritex Community Bank and Cadence Bank, including the significant conversion of Cadence, which expanded Huntington's footprint in Texas and the South.

Prior to his tenure at Huntington, Standridge held the position of chief retail community banking officer at Truist, joining in December 2019 after the merger of BB&T Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc. His prior experience includes leadership roles in retail banking, auto finance, equipment finance, mortgage banking, and regional presidencies in Baltimore, Atlanta, and Dallas.
