“Anne has deep credit industry experience and has excelled in
roles of increasing responsibility during her nearly two decades at
Synovus, positioning her well to assume this critical leadership
position,” said Shellie Creson, executive vice president and chief
risk officer. “Recently, Anne led efforts to enhance our proactive
and preventative credit risk management programs, improving our
platform for managing commercial, consumer and commercial real
estate credit risk. She is a sharp strategist and strong leader.
I’m thrilled she’s taking the helm of our credit team as we
continue driving our growth agenda in the years ahead.”
Fortner will establish and advance credit organization
initiatives and objectives in support of the enterprise strategy
while ensuring that Synovus stays on top of trends and market
conditions to guide credit practices. She will oversee the asset
quality of the balance sheet, implement the administration of loan
policy and governance processes, and direct the monitoring and
measuring of credit risk through analytics, thresholds and limits
to maintain credit risk within appetite. Derrick will remain in his
role until March 31, 2025, and will work with Fortner, Creson and
others to support the transition.
“Bob has been a tremendous leader and valued partner,” continued
Creson. “With his steady but firm hand and by positioning our
shareholders and clients at the heart of every interaction, Bob led
our credit organization through the largest and fastest asset
growth expansion in Synovus’ 136-year history. His authentic,
relationship-focused approach enabled Bob’s success in navigating
every challenge and opportunity. Bob has had a truly exemplary
career in banking, and we wish him well in his retirement.”
In her 17 years with Synovus, Fortner has served in various
roles, including executive director of credit risk management and
leading credit for the wholesale bank. Prior to joining the
company, she served in several commercial banking capacities with
