Goodwin joins as senior vice president and regional executive for the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley. He brings more than two decades of middle-market banking experience and will lead Fifth Third’s middle-market strategy for the region. This includes building a team of seven to 10 professional bankers.

Arcaro is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with middle-market clients, including family-owned businesses and private equity-owned middle-market companies.

Arcaro and Goodwin will report directly to Joseph Yurosek, California market president for Fifth Third.

“As we continue to expand our Southern California market presence, I’m excited to welcome Louis and Rick to the team,” said Yurosek. “Their talent and expertise will play a critical role in enhancing our client experience and capabilities in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley.”
