About Our Commencement Speaker:
Scott Anderson,
Non-Executive Chairman, Zions Bank
A. Scott Anderson retired from Zions Bank in April 2024 after 33 years with the bank, including more than 25 years as president and CEO. Founded in 1873, Zions Bank is Utah's oldest financial institution and is the only local bank with a statewide distribution of local branches. In his retirement, Scott continues to serve the bank and the community in his role as nonexecutive chair of the Zions Bank Advisory Board.
Scott began his banking career in San Francisco as part of Bank of America's international banking division. He was later assigned to Tokyo, where he spent seven years before returning to San Francisco to establish a small business banking program and manage the company's main office in the city.
A native of Salt Lake City, Scott joined Zions Bank in December of 1990 as executive vice president of Retail Banking. He assumed his role as president and CEO in January of 1998. During his more than a quarter century in this role, Zions Bank's assets grew from approximately $6 billion to nearly $23 billion. Scott has also been a powerful voice for the banking industry, including serving as chair of the Utah Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association.
Active in community affairs, Scott has served, or is currently serving, as a board member for numerous civic, business, and nonprofit organizations.
Anderson received a bachelor's degree in philosophy and economics from Columbia University in New York. He also received a master's degree in economics and international studies from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
