DALLAS -

This week, Texas Capital Bank welcomed an executive who has served at institutions such as Truist Financial, Wells Fargo and Fifth Third Bank to serve in the newly created position of head of corporate banking.

Appointed to this post effective immediately for the bank that works with an array of buy-here, pay-here dealerships is Julia Harman, who will report directly to Rob Holmes, president and chief executive officer of Texas Capital Bank

Texas Capital Bank explained this appointment reflects the company’s commitment to grow its C&I offering through broader and more tailored services for larger clients.

As head of corporate banking, Harman will be responsible for directing Texas Capital Bank’s client coverage teams that serve the larger private and public companies within the bank’s footprint, as well as certain national industry verticals.

“Julia is an experienced executive with a broad understanding of Texas’ corporate banking landscape and I’m excited to welcome her to the Texas Capital Bank team,” Holmes said in a news release.

“In her prior roles, she has played an integral part in expanding commercial banking efforts while also gaining recognition for her civic and professional leadership,” Holmes continued. “I am confident that Julia is the right individual to lead the corporate banking division of Texas Capital Bank as we continue to grow and enhance our offerings for our larger clients.”

Harman joins Texas Capital Bank from Truist Financial, where she most recently served as North Texas Regional president since 2019.

Prior to that role, Harman held various roles with SunTrust Bank and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, including serving as market president of the North Texas region where she was responsible for the firm’s commercial banking expansion efforts in North Texas.

“Julia’s appointment to this newly created role signifies our commitment to bolstering our corporate banking presence and desire to build out a best-in-class commercial and industrial banking effort that serves all segments of the markets we serve,” said John Sarvadi, executive managing director of middle market banking at Texas Capital Bank.

“Julia has an accomplished history of exceptional judgment and strategic decision making while advising corporate clients. I look forward to welcoming her to Texas Capital Bank,” Sarvadi went on to say.

Harman also has experience with other banks.

Prior to joining SunTrust, Harman was in charge of developing Fifth Third Bank’s corporate banking presence in the Southwest. She also served as senior vice president at Wells Fargo and served in various roles within the organization beginning with its predecessor, Wachovia Bank.

Harman began her career at JPMorgan in the corporate and investment bank in New York and Dallas.
