Regions Bank named Juan A. Cazorla head of the Transportation and Logistics Specialized Industry Group. Cazorla will lead the group from the company’s Charlotte, NC office.

Under Cazorla’s leadership, the Transportation and Logistics Group will continue to serve a wide array of companies and institutions, which operate in the logistics, maritime, rail, trucking, leasing and waste management sectors. The group is currently comprised of transportation-dedicated banking professionals with more than 50 years of combined industry and transaction experience.

“Juan has proven to be a creative leader with a focus on expanding Regions’ business, and he will bring that drive to our transportation and logistics banking business,” said Ward Cheatham, Regions Corporate Banking Division head. “Juan’s leadership will help reinforce our emphasis on providing financing and strategic solutions to leading companies in growing and capital-intensive industry segments.”

Cazorla joined Regions in 2013 as a managing director in the Corporate Banking Group, serving large corporate and mid-cap clients. His background includes more than 25 years in financial services, including 18 years at Bank of America in Debt Capital Markets, client management and credit products. He also has extensive and broad experience in public and private fixed income markets, risk management solutions, corporate treasury issues and business turnarounds and restructurings.

“Regions has a long-standing track record of successfully working with transportation and logistics companies,” said Cazorla. “I look forward to the opportunity to further diversify and expand our team and our sector coverage within the logistics, trucking and waste sectors by focusing on growth opportunities and leveraging key internal and external partnerships.”
