Alex Brame, executive vice president and South Carolina regional president for Truist Financial Corporation, has joined the board of directors of Business Development Corporation (BDC).
Brame is responsible for Truist’s business and financial performance across the Palmetto State. He assumed the role in October 2023 with 16 years of banking experience, most recently as Truist’s central Pennsylvania regional president. He also has been the company’s market president of Lancaster and Lebanon counties; market president of the Virginia peninsula; and a business services officer in Newport News, Va.
A graduate of Clemson University and American Bankers Association School of Banking at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Brame is also a board member of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Palmetto Business Forum.
“I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with entrepreneurs and businesses large and small, working to meet their goals and realize their dreams. I’m looking forward to bringing that experience to BDC board as together we help more enterprises grow through strong connections and strategic, timely financing,” said Brame.
“We’re delighted that Alex Brame has agreed to share his experience and insight with the BDC board. He’s an accomplished community business lender who will bring his own multi-state perspective and commitment to the continued economic development of the Palmetto State to our leadership,” said Peter G. Shand, BDC president and CEO.
