He will report to Mike Michael, group regional president. Call currently serves as president of the South Florida region, which now will be united with the North Florida under one statewide organization.
Call has been with Fifth Third since 2002 and held numerous positions in the Commercial and Retail lines of business before being promoted to president of Fifth Third Bank (Ohio Valley) in 2005. In 2008, he led the integration of the First Charter bank acquisition.
