“Nikki has established deep relationships with teammates, clients, and the Central Texas community and personifies Bank of America’s commitment to stakeholder service,” said Brian Moynihan, Bank of America chairman and CEO. “I thank Nikki for her leadership and know that David is perfectly positioned to build upon this legacy to ensure that Bank of America is actively engaged in helping Austin’s economy continue to grow and thrive.”
