U.S. Bank has appointed Mark Jorgenson, its market president for Kansas City region, as new head of its community banking business.

Jorgenson will be based at Kansas City, responsible for leading the bank’s 1,140 branch offices and 10,000 employees in non-metropolitan communities.

As market president, Jorgenson headed commercial business banking in Kansas City and St. Louis. Tim Petty, who joined U.S. Bank in 2000, will replace Jorgenson in this role.

Petty most recently served as the senior vice president for commercial banking in Kansas City.

U.S. Bank Community Banking and Branch Delivery vice chairman John Elmore said: "Community banking is central to our U.S. Bank philosophy of being where our customers live and work, whether in metropolitan cities or local communities.

"Mark’s experience and passion combined make him a perfect match to lead this significant piece of U.S. Bank’s business. He has an excellent reputation as an effective leader within U.S. Bank and throughout the community."
