Truist consumer-bank chief is out in leadership shakeup

Dontá Wilson, Truist’s chief consumer and small business banking officer, is leaving the bank, which is also selling $7.7 billion of consumer loans to Carlyle.

Six weeks into Mike Lyons’ tenure as CEO, Truist has tapped new leaders to drive execution of the bank’s strategy.

Dontá Wilson, Truist's chief consumer and small business banking officer, is leaving the bank. Wilson was the last person remaining from the executive management team that came out of the 2019 SunTrust-BB&T merger that produced Truist.

Shimna Sameer, a Bank of America alum who was hired in July to lead Truist’s wealth management division, will succeed Wilson in the chief consumer-banking role, Truist said Friday in a news release.

Truist has hired Jeff Warner, a 25-year veteran of PNC, to serve as chief small business banking officer. At PNC, Warner was most recently head of small business.

Also Friday, D. Steve Boland was named a vice chair at Truist “to help advance the bank's strategic agenda and support execution of the highest-priority initiatives,” the lender. Boland had been chief administrative officer and president of retail banking at Bank of America before retiring from the lender in 2025.

Boland, Sameer and Warner will all report to Lyons. The bank didn’t specify when Wilson would depart, but in a LinkedIn post Friday, Wilson referenced “support[ing] this leadership transition through the end of the year.”

“We've sharpened [consumer and small business banking]'s focus, added highly experienced leaders to complement our existing talent, and flattened the organization, all designed to drive the execution of our growth plan,” Lyons said.
