“Stephanie is a dynamic individual, and we are excited to
announce her as our new chief inclusion and diversity officer,”
said Teresa Tanner, Fifth Third’s chief administrative officer.
“She has a highly-respected skill set that includes years of
previous experience at the Bank, and we welcome her energy and
leadership in this role.”
Smith has worked for the Bank for 21 years, including with the
Fifth Third Foundation, commercial banking, business banking, and
community and economic development. Since 2015, she has served as
the Bank’s director of supplier diversity. In that role she
facilitated opportunities for qualified, diverse suppliers to
compete equitably for the Bank’s business. In her time as director
of supplier diversity, the Bank saw a significant increase in
spending with diverse suppliers.
Under Smith’s guidance, the Bank also established relationships
with the National Minority Supplier Development Council, the U.S.
Small Business Administration, the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. In
2018, the Supplier Diversity Program was recognized by Minority
Business News as one of the Best of the Decade; by Diversity Plus
Magazine for Smith’s accomplishments in directing supplier
diversity initiatives; and by WBENC as one of America’s Top
Corporations.
“The work of inclusion and diversity never stops,” said Smith.
“They are essential to living our core values, and I am looking
forward to continuing to make valuable and significant
contributions in this area of the Bank.”
