Houston most recently served as the bank's regional executive of North Texas, leading the Consumer and Commercial Bank. She began her career in banking nearly 30 years ago as a part-time teller and later advanced to key leadership roles at the district and regional levels. She will be a member of the bank's management committee, reporting to Chairman and CEO Manolo Sanchez.

"Rosilyn personifies our brand: optimistic, engaging, energetic," said BBVA Compass Chairman and CEO Manolo Sanchez. "Her teams are consistently, persistently some of our top performers. She has a gift for bringing out the best in everyone around her, and her trademark enthusiasm makes her a great fit for this role."

Houston will take over the Talent & Culture unit, formerly known as Human Resources, where she'll be responsible for providing leadership in recruitment and staffing; compensation and benefits; real estate; loss prevention, investigation and physical security; employee engagement, commitment and retention; payroll administration; and compliance with all employment-related legal and governmental regulations and requirements. She officially assumes the role on July 1.

She was named the bank's North Texas regional executive for Consumer and Commercial Banking in November. Prior to that role, she led retail banking operations for BBVA Compass' Eastern Region, which covered Alabama and Florida and more than 1,000 employees.

Houston earned a bachelor of arts in organizational management at the University of Phoenix in Arizona and a master's in management at the University of Redlands in Redlands, Calif.  

South Texas Regional Banking Jeff Executive Jeff Dudderar will now assume Houston's responsibilities in the North Texas region. Dudderar joined BBVA Compass in 2010 as its South Texas region executive for Commercial Banking. Before coming to BBVA Compass, Dudderar was with Huntington Bank in Columbus, Ohio, where he held multiple positions, including market manager, business banking sales director and credit risk manager.
