Allison Robinson, head of branch and premier banking at Truist, has left the firm, a company spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
“We wish her well in this next step of her journey,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Banking Dive.
Robinson, who has been with Truist for about 21 years, is departing the firm to pursue another opportunity, Dontá Wilson, the bank’s chief consumer and small business banking officer, wrote in a memo to colleagues. Robinson reported to Wilson, who did not go into further detail in the memo seen by Business North Carolina.
Robinson, was head of Truist’s community branch banking and emerging markets and took over premier banking — the unit offering services to affluent clients — in November. That was one of several moves that punctuated the reorganization and cost-cutting plan Truist launched last September.
Robinson joined BB&T in 2003; it merged with SunTrust in 2019 to form Truist. At BB&T, she climbed through the ranks to become the retail group executive before the merger.
The spokesperson did not comment on who would fill the role.
Truist also disclosed Tuesday that board member Patrick C. Graney III plans to retire at the end of this month for health reasons, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Graney’s departure is not due to any disagreement with the firm, Truist said in the filing.
Robinson’s departure is hardly the first this year among Truist’s highest-ranking executives. Truist’s chief information officer, Scott Case, and chief audit officer, Denise DeMaio, left the bank in April.
Truist tapped Grant Harbrecht, previously the bank’s chief compliance officer, to replace DeMaio. The bank also named Steve Hagerman as its new CIO this month. Hagerman, who will replace interim CIO Brad Bender, will join Truist on Oct. 28.
