SunTrust

Doug Kleinberg joins the firm as a managing director.

The banks, which plan to merge as Truist Financial, are expected soon to start selling hundreds of branches in the Southeast to satisfy antitrust concerns and increase efficiency.

Allison Dukes says she will not be joining the combined company because she wants to remain in Atlanta, where she is involved with several civic and philanthropic organizations. The merged company will be headquartered in Charlotte, N.C.
