About Douglas Graham

I am currently a Financial Analyst within the Corporate Finance department on the Corporate Costing and Analytics team at Regions Bank. The Cost Team at Regions studies how the bank consumes direct non-interest expense (DNIE) to produce products and services for it\'s clients (both internal and external). With that knowledge, we align those costs with the appropriate transaction, account, client, and organizational area to support the banks ability to understand DNIE\'s impact on profitability.I have a background in Finance, with a considerable focus in Retail Banking (8 years in the retail network at Synovus, 3 years in analyst roles at BBVA, and currently supporting the Consumer Bank as a part of the Corporate Costing & Analytics Team), while also building experience in data analysis and data visualization at Steris IMS. I have the ability to extract data from relational databases (using SQL, SAS, Access, etc) and perform analyses/projections (using Excel) and create visualizations (using Crystal Reports, SSRS, Qlik etc) and prepare/deliver presentations (PowerPoint).I am currently an active member of the Greater Birmingham Humane Society Board of Directors and previously served on the GBHS Young Professional Board for 4 years from 2020 to 2023 (Finance Chair CY 2021, Board Chair/President CY 2022).
