In addition to teaming with Bob Marcus on the overall strategic
direction of the unit, Tyson will focus on driving the Bank’s
growth in strategic merger and acquisition advisory services.
M&A advisory services represent an expansion of capabilities
and a significant growth area for Fifth Third Capital Markets to
support middle market and mid-corporate clients. Fifth Third
recently advised Flash Foods, Inc. on their $425 million sale to
CST Brands.
Tyson will also lead new initiatives to further develop the
Bank’s relationship with private equity companies.
Tyson joins Fifth Third from BB&T Capital Markets, where he
most recently served as senior managing director and co-head of
Investment Banking. Prior to his 18 years with BB&T and a
predecessor, Scott & Stringfellow, he was a managing director
at Wheat First Butcher Singer. Throughout his career in investment
banking and capital markets, he has completed more than 125 capital
financing and M&A advisory assignments.
“We are excited to add a leader with Bill’s experience and track
record to Fifth Third,” Anderson said. “He brings extensive
expertise that will directly add value to our existing client
relationships and help us further establish high-quality
relationships. His addition deepens our base of talent and we are
excited about our prospects for future growth for our Capital
Markets unit.”
Tyson holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia
in finance and accounting, and graduated from the executive program
at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. His
community involvement has included leadership roles on multiple
boards for the University of Virginia, as well as board service
with St. Margaret’s School and the William Byrd Community
House.
“I am thrilled to join the Capital Markets team at Fifth Third,”
Tyson said. “I have known Lars Anderson and Bob Marcus for decades
and have always respected their level of commitment to their
clients. I look forward to making an immediate contribution and
helping the Bank fully capitalize on its growth prospects.”
