Dallas-based Comerica Bank has promoted Brandon Jones to senior vice president, external affairs from vice president of external affairs. He will report to Executive Vice President of Corporate Responsibility Wendy Bridges.
In this new role, Jones oversees Comerica’s Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) community engagement function, including External Affairs, Community Affairs, and CRA Investments, the bank said.
“Brandon possesses an authentic passion for serving the community and forges meaningful relationships with community partners,” Bridges said in a statement. “His leadership and experience will allow us to continue identifying new and impactful programs that will strengthen and benefit our local communities for years to come.”
Jones came to Comerica more than a decade ago, serving as a retail bank manager from 2012 through 2017. He then moved to Texas Capital to serve as assistant vice president, helping establish banking presence in West Dallas and cultivating community partnerships, Comerica said.
Jones then returned to Comerica in November 2020 as regional external affairs manager for Texas, Arizona, and Florida. It was a role in which he led several community initiatives that included the launch of Comerica’s gomerica mobile community banking center in Florida and the opening of BusinessHQ, Comerica’s latest venture in supporting small businesses by offering collaborative space for community partners and small businesses in the Southern sector of Dallas.
Jones is active in the North Texas community, holding board positions with Resource Center Dallas and Texas Health Community Impact Foundation.
