Union Bank & Trust has named David V. Ring Executive Vice President and Commercial Banking Group Executive effective September 27, 2017.

"David brings extensive experience in developing and leading commercial banking teams across multiple regions and states as well as in smaller and larger institutions," said John C. Asbury, President and CEO of Union Bankshares Corporation.  "He understands how to build teams that serve the credit, depository and treasury management needs of commercial businesses, commercial real estate developers and not-for-profit organizations. David also knows how to establish more efficient processes to make banking easier for clients and teammates - both of which are important to our continued path to becoming Virginia's regional bank."

"Over the years, I've enjoyed helping businesses of all sizes meet their financial needs and developing teams that deliver an outstanding customer experience," said David V. Ring.  "I am excited to join Union's team at this point in their growth cycle and as they continue to move forward as the preeminent banking organization headquartered in Virginia."

Ring, 53, was most recently Executive Vice President and Executive Managing Director at Huntington National Bank leading its middle market, university, non-profit and Huntington Business Credit teams.  Prior to joining Huntington, he was with First Niagara Financial Group as managing director and head of wholesale banking. With more than 25 years of experience, Ring started his banking career at Wachovia Bank, ultimately leading its middle market, business banking and government banking teams from Virginia to Boston.  After Wachovia's acquisition by Wells Fargo, Ring became regional head for Greater New York and Connecticut.  Union's commercial banking, community development banking and treasury management services teams will report to him.

Ring received his B.S. in Finance from Providence College.
