Texas Capital Bancshares, the parent company of Texas Capital, made a series of strategic executive leadership appointments designed to scale the firm’s clearly differentiated platform in its next phase of growth.
As part of these changes, Texas Capital appointed Jeff Hood as managing director, chief human resources officer (CHRO), effective May 4, 2026.
Hood joins Texas Capital from Citizens Financial Group with more than 25 years of leadership experience across human resources and financial services. He has a strong track record of building high-performing teams, advancing leadership capability and aligning talent strategies with business transformation. In his new role, Hood will lead Texas Capital’s human capital strategy, overseeing talent, leadership, organizational effectiveness and total rewards to enable business performance, innovation and growth. He will report to Rob C. Holmes, chairman, president and CEO of Texas Capital, and will serve as a member of the firm’s operating council.
“It is an honor to join Texas Capital at such a pivotal moment,” Hood said. “The firm has built something truly differentiated: a clear strategy, a strong culture and a leadership team deeply committed to long-term growth. I look forward to partnering across the organization to ensure our people strategy matches that ambition at every level.”
