Fifth Third Bancorp (NASDAQ: FITB) today announced Brian Enzler as the North Texas region president, and the promotion of Scott Silvas to South Texas region president. Enzler and Silvas will report to group regional president Tom Partridge.
“Our regional model has long been a core strength of Fifth Third because it keeps us deeply connected to our clients and communities,” said Partridge. “Both Brian and Scott have demonstrated the ability to build and scale banking operations, develop high-performing teams, and cultivate community partnerships – key strengths that will enhance how we operate across an expanded footprint while sharpening and elevating our leadership structure as we bring Fifth Third and Comerica together.”
As region presidents, Enzler (DFW and surrounding markets) and Silvas (Houston, San Antonio, Austin and surrounding metro areas) will oversee the strategic direction and growth of Fifth Third’s commercial banking, wealth and asset management and commercial payment businesses.
The bank plans to open 150 new Texas financial centers by 2029, a $600 million investment that positions it for top four market share in Dallas, Houston and Austin.
“I look forward to leading in this new capacity during this transformational time,” said Enzler. “The merger accelerates our growth strategy, broadens our reach and reinforces our commitment to investing in North Texas. Together, we will deliver a more robust, differentiated client experience.”
With over two decades of experience in commercial finance and strategic leadership, Enzler most recently served as the Director of Middle Market and Business Banking in North Texas for Comerica. He oversaw a broad portfolio of business clients across the DFW area while leading relationship teams in Dallas, Fort Worth and Colorado. Prior to Comerica, Enzler served as Managing Director and Region Head for South Central U.S. Commercial Banking at BMO, where he managed teams across multiple markets and spearheaded initiatives to expand client engagement and operational efficiency.
Enzler also serves on several boards, including the AT&T Performing Arts Center, the Dallas Stars Owner Advisory Group, and the Canada-Texas Chamber of Commerce. He is also a member of YPO Mustang Dallas, and a Strategic Resource Partner for YPO Gold Maverick. Enzler received a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas.
Silvas joined Fifth Third in February 2019 as Texas market president, leading the bank’s strategic expansion into the middle market statewide. Previously, he served as executive director and Houston market executive for JPMorgan Chase’s middle market banking group, where he spent nine years. Prior to that, he was a relationship manager in the middle market banking group at Bank of Texas in Houston for seven years.
“Our new regional structure reflects the strength of our combined talent and the tremendous opportunity ahead as we integrate our markets, unite our capabilities and deliver the very best of our franchise to clients across South Texas,” said Silvas. “With a presence in 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large U.S. markets, including the markets in my region, we have a clear path to top market share in Texas.”
The native Houstonian is actively involved in the community as a board member for multiple organizations, including Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, Greater Houston Partnership, the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (2024 Board Chairman) and Star of Hope. He also is a Rice University Business Partner, a founding member of the St. Theresa Catholic School’s Dad’s Club and a graduate of Leadership Houston. Silvas earned a bachelor’s degree in finance and accounting from the University of Texas at Austin and an MBA from Rice University.
