SYRACUSE — A veteran of the banking industry is now KeyBank’s (NYSE: KEY) retail leader for its Central New York market.
Based in Syracuse, Ronald Klein, Jr. will lead sales, service, and talent-development efforts at all of KeyBank’s branches in the Central New York region, the bank said. Klein will also work with KeyBank’s line of business leaders in the market to support business development and growth.
It is a new position at the bank, a KeyBank spokesperson tells CNYBJ in an email. Klein reports to Stephen Fournier, president of the Central New York market and regional retail leader, the bank added.
Klein joined KeyBank in 2018 as an area retail leader (ARL) and was promoted to senior ARL in 2021. He has 34 years of banking experience — 14 in retail and 20 in consumer lending and mortgage.
During his time at KeyBank, Klein has mentored several ARLs across its footprint and has developed and promoted nine branch managers to different lines of business.
Prior to joining Key, Klein held leadership roles with HSBC, First Niagara Bank, Citi, Berkshire Bank, and Citizens Bank. He also works with students in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University and mentors student-athletes.
Cleveland, Ohio–based KeyBank operates branch locations throughout Central and Upstate New York. It is ranked No. 2 in deposit market share in the 16-county CNY area.
