As Fort Worth Market President, Hellman's new responsibilities will include supporting the bank's customer initiatives and overall business and community development efforts across its Retail, Business Bank and Wealth Management businesses.

"In that very challenging environment, Don helped grow our client base in Tarrant County, a success story that is a testament to his leadership abilities and business acumen, as well as Comerica's strength and stability."

Active in community and civic affairs, Hellman, an Irving native, serves on the board of directors for Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. and Communities in Schools of Greater Tarrant County.  He is also an active member of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce.
