Lee’s role expanded in October to include oversight of Maryland, following the retirement of Greg Farno, whom Lee described as a friend and a “true leader” of both Baltimore and Truist. 

A William & Mary alumna, Lee has led the greater Washington market since 2019, following the merger of BB&T and SunTrust Banks that created Truist, the eighth largest bank in the nation with total assets of $535 billion as of the end of March. Previously, Lee worked for SunTrust for two decades. 

In October, Truist donated a former bank branch and adjacent plaza at the corner of Columbia Road and 18th Street Northwest to Jubilee Housing, a D.C. nonprofit that develops and manages affordable housing communities. “It is rare that the community members facing the greatest obstacles are provided the resources they need not just to survive but to thrive,” Lee stated in a news release. 

Lee sits on several boards, including the D.C. Policy Center, the United Way of the National Capital Area and the Goodwill of Greater Washington. She is assistant treasurer of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, where she also sits on the executive committee.
