First Horizon Corporation announced the appointment of Hope Dmuchowski as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. She will serve on the company’s Executive Management Committee and report to President and Chief Executive Officer Bryan Jordan.
Dmuchowski joins First Horizon from Truist Financial Corporation where she most recently served as Executive Vice President Head of Financial Planning and Analysis and Management Reporting. Prior to that role, she served as CFP of Corporate Banking, Commercial Banking and Corporate Groups with leadership responsibilities for the business line CFOs throughout the organization.
Dmuchowski brings a wealth of finance and accounting experience having served in a number of key roles running integrated business and economic models, budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis, accounting, regulatory reporting and operations.
“We are very excited to welcome Hope to the First Horizon leadership team as our new CFO,” said President and CEO Bryan Jordan. “She brings significant experience in financial services, and I am confident that given her collaborative spirit and passion for progress, she will hit the ground running to help drive continuous improvement in a rapidly changing landscape.”
Jordan continued, “Hope’s significant merger integration experience also gives her a unique understanding of the complexities, benefits and opportunities associated with the combination of two sizable organizations.”
Dmuchowski said, “I am thrilled to join First Horizon at this exciting and pivotal time. I look forward to contributing to the overall strategy, particularly as we move beyond the final systems conversion and further capitalize on the power of the Company’s higher growth markets and diversified business model. I am excited to closely partner with Bryan and the leadership team to help create a top-performing regional bank.”
Dmuchowski will join First Horizon on Nov. 29, succeeding Interim CFO Anthony Restel. In addition to her financial management responsibilities, she will also have responsibility for Corporate Properties and Procurement.
Jordan added “On behalf of the board and the entire Company, I acknowledge and thank Anthony Restel for stepping into such a critical role for the last few months. As expected, he provided extraordinary leadership during this transitional time, and I am confident that he will deliver strong results as President of Regional Banking.”
