New York-listed Regions Bank has named Anne Copeland as head of its private wealth management business. 

Copeland will lead the firm's banking, trust and investment management services to affluent and high net worth individuals and families. She will oversee a team of over 500 private wealth management associates.

She has over 30 years of industry experience and joined Regions Bank in April last year as an executive vice president, responsible for managing strategy and client solutions for the wealth management group.

Prior to joining Regions, she was an executive vice president and senior managing director for Wells Fargo’s wealth management group in Northern California. She also led the firm's California investment management and trust unit and served as a senior vice president and director of fiduciary services.

Regions launched its wealth management group in June 2011 in a move involving the integration of its existing trust, private banking, asset management and insurance businesses.

Regions Private Wealth Management operates 50 offices and serves clients across 16 states.
