Colleen Kvetko
Colleen Kvetko joined Fifth Third Bank in its headquarters office in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1987. In 1992, Fifth Third selected her to open a Fifth Third affiliate bank in Florida as its first President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. Kvetko launched the Florida affiliate with $5 million in local assets and three employees – including herself. Quickly recognizing the uniqueness of the market, she devoted her energies to capitalizing on business opportunities while penetrating Florida’s banking industry. Today, Fifth Third’s South Florida affiliate is a $6.4 billion bank. Her hard work, tenacity and winning attitude helped grow the bank from its infancy. For this, and Kvetko's many accomplishments in 36 years of banking (18 with Fifth Third), U.S. Banker magazine recognized her as the fifth most powerful woman in banking (October 2004).

Kvetko retired from Fifth Third Bank in May 2005 after 18 years of service. In April 2006, she returned to the bank as executive vice president with responsibility for marketing and customer acquisitions for its South Florida affiliate. Kvetko also serves as a member of the affiliate’s board of directors. She remains active in the Naples community, serving on the Board of Trustees for International College, the advisory boards of Naples Illustrated and the Collier County Productivity Committee and serving as chair of the Collier County Sheriff’s Innovation Group.
