Comerica Bank names market president for Fort Worth

Comerica Bank has named Donald P. Hellman its first Fort Worth market president, the bank announced June 25. Hellman, with 32 years of commercial banking experience in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, has led Comerica’s middle market business in Tarrant County since 2008. He will continue in that role, and as Fort Worth market president, his new responsibilities will include supporting the bank’s customer initiatives and overall business and community development efforts across its retail, business bank and wealth management businesses. “After many successful years in banking in Dallas, we tasked Don, who began his banking career in Fort Worth in 1981, with opening our Tarrant County regional headquarters in 2008, in the midst of the financial market downturn,” said Faubion. “In that very challenging environment, Don helped grow our client base in Tarrant County, a success story that is a testament to his leadership abilities and business acumen, as well as Comerica’s strength and stability.” An Irving native, Hellman is active in community and civic affairs, serving on the board of directors for Downtown Fort Worth Inc. and Communities in Schools of Greater Tarrant County. He is also an active member of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. Comerica Inc. is a financial services company headquartered in Dallas, and focuses on three business segments: The Business Bank, The Retail Bank, and Wealth Management.
