KeyBank targets 10% commercial banker workforce growth for second consecutive year

KeyBank is targeting a 10% increase in its commercial banking workforce this year, following an 11% expansion in 2024. The Cleveland-based regional bank recently hired a five-person family office and private capital team in Kansas City to support the growth initiative. The bank currently employs 181 commercial bankers serving middle-market businesses generating between $10 million and $1 billion in revenue. Two teams hired last year in Chicago and Southern California have driven new customer growth and loan production at roughly twice the rate of the rest of the portfolio, according to Ken Gavrity, head of Key's commercial bank. KeyBank's commercial division generated approximately $2.1 billion in revenue last year, representing nearly one-third of total revenue. The bank is particularly focused on expanding in the Southeast, with Atlanta under consideration.
