Truist Financial has appointed Shirley Morejon as regional president for Tennessee, effective immediately. The Charlotte-based lender said Morejon brings more than two decades of commercial banking experience to the role, including leadership in treasury management and relationship management.
Morejon joins Truist from Bank of America, where she served as market executive for the mid-South region. In that position, she oversaw middle-market commercial bankers across Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi, with responsibility for client revenue ranging from $50 million to $2 billion annually. Her team supported more than 20,000 employees through employee resource groups.
Johnny Moore, who previously held the Tennessee regional president role, will transition to head of commercial banking integration. Moore will focus on aligning partnerships across Truist's commercial banking, wealth management and wholesale payments businesses. Jodie Hughes remains Truist's head of commercial banking.
Morejon, who will be based in Nashville, has been recognized as a 2026 Nashville Business Journal Women of Influence and a 2022 Tampa Bay Business Journal Businesswoman of the Year. Her appointment follows Truist's $556 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2026, reflecting the bank's scale in the U.S. Southeast.
