Zions Bancorporation says Zions Bank CEO Paul Burdiss retires December 31

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Zions Bancorporation said Paul Burdiss will retire as president and CEO of its Zions Bank division effective December 31, 2025, and that Nate Callister, currently executive vice president and executive director of commercial banking at Zions Bank, will succeed him. Burdiss has agreed to a consulting arrangement for 2026, and the filing reports no financial results, so the change affects division leadership rather than reported performance.
