Comerica Bank, headquartered in Dallas, has a new Senior Vice President (SVP). The financial services company has announced that Bill Adams assumed his duties on January 24. This change in leadership came in anticipation of the January 28 retirement of his predecessor, Former Comerica Bank SVP and Chief Economist Dr. Robert Dye.
Dr. Dye was responsible for providing research and media commentary on the national economy, with particular attention dedicated to the economies of Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, and Texas.
The Harvard University-educated SVP Adams earned a graduate degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He accomplished a ten-year tenure at PNC Financial Services Group, facilitating analyses of the national economy and regional economies. His work was also instrumental in providing projections of international economic conditions, interests rates, and exchange rates – encompassing major developed and developing foreign economies.
Within his Comerica role, SVP Adams will lead the Economics Department, conducting research analyses in support of critical banking markets and contributing as an aide to influential business leaders and policymakers across the country.
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jim Herzog, manager of the new SVP, expressed appreciation for each leader – present and past.
“Bill’s strong experience and deep understanding of economic policies and trends will serve to strengthen Comerica and deliver the insightful commentary and analysis our customers have come to expect from the role. Robert has left an indelible mark on the position. His economic commentary and guidance [have] served as a valuable resource and navigator to Comerica and our customers, especially during these uncertain times.”
