Fifth Third Bancorp has added two regional relationship managers to its growing Commercial Equipment Financing group, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to provide a variety of financing options for equipment, vehicles, facilities and more for commercial businesses.

These two new hires build upon last year’s announcement that Fifth Third’s Commercial Equipment Financing Group is expanding its market presence, operating as four distinct regions: South, North Central, Midwest and East.

The new regional relationship managers are:

• Robin Harmon (Nashville, Tennessee) – Harmon will serve customers in the Tennessee and Mississippi markets, reporting to Lance King, managing director of the South region. Harmon brings more than 25 years of equipment finance experience to the Bank, most recently as national finance manager for Commercial Marine at TCF Equipment Finance.
• Mike Duffy (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) – Duffy will serve customers in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, reporting to Bob Davies, managing director of the East region. His 18+ years of equipment finance experience include roles at GE Capital, First Niagara Leasing and Huntington Bank.

“We are excited about the addition of our two new regional relationship managers, as they bring a wealth of equipment finance experience to Fifth Third Bank,” said Tom Partridge, president of Fifth Third Equipment Finance. “Our clients and prospective clients will benefit from their industry knowledge and equipment finance expertise to help craft solutions for their capital needs.”
