Minneapolis-based U.S. Bank has announced key leadership changes in its Corporate & Commercial Banking business. As part of the realignment, Felicia La Forgia, who most recently oversaw the bank’s Oil & Gas, Retail & Apparel and Utilities industry groups, has been named head of Corporate Banking. La Forgia will lead corporate client activity throughout all industry, geographic and government sectors, as well as spearhead community engagement and cross-enterprise initiatives in the greater New York City area. Hassan Salem, who previously held the position of U.S. Bank regional president, including roles as Colorado market president and regional head of Commercial Banking, has been named head of Commercial Banking, where he will lead a national team that serves middle-market clients and provides local-market leadership. Corporate & Commercial Banking is one of U.S. Bank’s four main business lines. “We’re simplifying our organization to speed decision-making, enhance strategic focus and deliver the trusted partnership our clients rely on as they navigate this new environment,” said Jim Kelligrew, vice chair of Corporate & Commercial Banking.
