Kevin Lavender, head of Fifth Third’s commercial bank, will become its vice chair and Kevin Khanna, who is head of corporate and investment banking, will replace him

June 27, 2025 //  by Finnovate

Susan Zaunbrecher, Fifth Third’s head of legal, government, and regulatory affairs, will retire. Christian Gonzalez will join the lender as executive vice president and chief legal officer, effective July 7. Kevin Lavender, head of Fifth Third’s commercial bank, will become its vice chair effective July 14, the bank said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Kevin Khanna, who is head of corporate and investment banking, will replace him and take up the role effective immediately. Fifth Third’s latest executive shuffle highlights the lender’s commitment to growth and innovation amid a dynamic regulatory environment, the bank’s CEO, Tim Spence, noted. Gonzalez, meanwhile, will join the Cincinnati-based lender from Dinsmore & Shohl, where he has worked for nearly 15 years and was most recently the chair of the corporate department.  Khanna, meanwhile, joined Fifth Third in 2015 to create and co-lead the tech, media and telecom group. He later added the diversified industries West Coast practice under his wings. Before joining Fifth Third, Khanna was the managing director and headed part of the communications, media and entertainment group at CIT, where he worked for 10 years.
