He has also played a key role in building Zions Bancorporation's Treasury Management capabilities - a line of business that is recognized nationally for the quality of its products and services. And, Steve Stephens, one of Amegy's longest-serving officers, has provided exceptional leadership to the bank for two dozen years. Under Scott's and Steve's combined leadership, the bank has become the leading middle-market lender in the Houston market, and has established a solid foundation in the Dallas and San Antonio markets."
