Origin Bank's longtime DFW leader departs.

Origin Bank's longtime DFW leader departs. By Leonardo Rosas - Staff Writer, Dallas Business Journal Oct 26, 2026 Updated Oct 26, 2026 7:02pm CDT Origin Bank's longtime leader in North Texas has departed for another opportunity. Warrie Birdwell confirmed to Dallas Business Journal on Oct. 26 he no longer works at Origin Bank. He had been North Texas regional president of the bank, a subsidiary of Ruston, Louisiana-based Origin Bancorp, since 2017. He also confirmed that Todd Cornelius, who joined Origin in 2022 and served as executive vice president of the North Texas region, has left the bank. Origin announced on Oct. 23 that it promoted Austin Lewis to the North Texas regional president role. Lewis, who was promoted from executive vice president, will oversee commercial banking, private banking, retail banking and treasury management teams in one of the key growth markets for the $10 billion-asset bank. He has spent his entire 16-year banking career at Origin since graduating from Louisiana State University in 2010. Birdwell declined to immediately disclose what he will do next. "We will start a new opportunity next week that I am incredibly excited about," Birdwell said via text message. "... That being said I'm thrilled for Austin and incredibly proud he has this opportunity now." Birdwell spent about 11 years with Origin after joining the bank in 2015 from San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Co. Cornelius previous worked at Amarillo National Bank, Cadence Bank and Wells Fargo, among others. Under his leadership, Origin more than doubled its deposits in North Texas between 2017 and 2022. The bank had $1.9 billion in local deposits across 11 North Texas branches as of June 30, according to Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. data. Origin has Birdwell in 2022 set a goal of reaching $4 billion in local deposits by 2027. At the time, he pointed to North Texas' strong population and business growth as key drivers of the bank's long-term expansion plans in the region. However, deposits declined in recent years, falling about 15% from roughly $2.2 billion in 2024. Lending by Origin in DFW doubled from $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2018, to $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2026, according to investor presentations. Texas remains a key market for Origin. As of June 30, the state accounted for roughly half of the bank's deposit base, excluding treasury and wholesale deposits, according to the company's second-quarter investor presentation. Texas also represented about 70% of the bank's loan portfolio, excluding mortgage warehouse lines of credit, underscoring the state's importance to Origin's overall business. Lewis will be responsible for the North Texas region's overall performance, banking centers, strategic growth initiatives, talent development, credit quality and client experience. He will also help drive customer and employee engagement across the market. Origin Bank CEO Lance Hall described North Texas as "one of the most dynamic growth markets in the country" in a statement. He said Origin has "built strong momentum" since entering the market in 2008 and believes Lewis is the right person to step into the regional president role. "I've had the privilege of watching Austin grow as a banker and as a leader, and I'm excited for him to step into this role and lead the region in a way that creates lasting value for our employees, customers, communities and shareholders," Hall said. Lewis described himself as "honored and grateful for the opportunity to lead a team I've worked alongside since I began my career at Origin. "I've seen firsthand what's possible when people are empowered to grow, and I want to create that same opportunity for the talented bankers on our team," he said. "When we invest in our people, they take great care of our customers, and that's how we'll continue to succeed in North Texas." Outside of banking, the company recently moved its primary stock listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Dallas-based Texas Stock Exchange. * Dallas' banking pecking order outlined * Fifth Third targets Fort Worth with new branches * $17.4 billion-asset bank boosts DFW leadership * Fifth Third pledges billions of dollars for Texas communities * Where Capital One looks to grow in DFW
