Truist Financial Corporation announced veteran banker Shirley Morejon would assume the role of regional president of Tennessee.
Morejon replaces Johnny Moore, who recently took on the position of head of commercial banking integration within the company. Moore will be focusing on strengthening and scaling Truist’s commercial banking, wealth management and wholesale payments businesses and partnerships. Morejon will focus on growing and deepening client relationships in Tennessee while supporting teammates and communities throughout the state.
“Shirley is a purposeful and experienced commercial banking leader with a strong record of building teams, serving clients and creating meaningful community impact,” Jodie Hughes, Truist Head of Commercial Banking, said. “Her client-first leadership style and deep knowledge of the Southeastern market make her well-positioned to lead our Tennessee team and help clients achieve their goals.”
Morejon comes to the role with more than 20 years of experience in banking. Prior to Truist, she was Bank of America’s market executive for the mid-South region, leading a team of middle market commercial bankers across Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi.
“I am honored to join Truist and lead the Tennessee market,” Morejon said. “Tennessee is home to dynamic companies, strong communities and tremendous opportunity. I look forward to working with our teammates and partners to help clients grow, support our communities and bring Truist’s purpose to life across the state.”
Morejon has been a longtime advocate for mentorship and talent development, and previously served as a leader of a Hispanic/Latino employee resource group supporting more than 20,000 employees. She was named 2026 Nashville Business Journal Women of Influence and 2022 Tampa Bay Business Journal Businesswoman of the Year.
Truist’s commercial and middle market banking business is part of the wholesale banking segment, and provides comprehensive solutions to commercial, corporate, institutional and high-net-worth across the United States.
