West Michigan Regional President
Huntington Bank
Lauren Davis has led the West Michigan team at Huntington Bank as the regional president since July 2022. Her lifelong career has included positions in retail, operations, risk management, finance and commercial banking.
A native of northern Michigan, Davis has dedicated nearly three decades to serving West Michigan’s financial landscape, showcasing expertise in sales, strategic expansion and fostering top-tier talent. She’s also active in the community, serving board positions at The Right Place, The Economic Club of Grand Rapids, and King Milling, a family-owned business. She is a strong advocate for women’s empowerment and mentorship with her former roles at YWCA and Michigan Women Forward. Additionally, Davis serves as the 2024 chair for Samaritas’ Be the Rock Gala.
Davis holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from Central Michigan University and an MBA from Grand Valley State University.
While some may see a circuitous path, Davis said all her career moves are part of her plan.
“Building on acquired expertise, seeking mentorship, and cultivating advocates both internally and externally became integral to my career progression,” she said. “Over the years, my development plan presented me roles that were lateral or even taking a step back to create those opportunities to move forward in the future. This mindset has helped me focus more on learning new skills, gaining knowledge or experiences instead of focusing on title changes. Staying true to my plan like a compass has created a path for my success.”
