Ruby succeeds Bill Morgan, who retired after a distinguished 40-year career in financial services.

“Tim is stepping into an important leadership role and brings decades of trust and insight that will benefit the clients and communities we serve,” said Smith. “His deep roots in healthcare, education, and nonprofit finance mean our clients get to work with someone who understands their mission and challenges from the inside out.”

In his role, Ruby will manage relationships with HHN clients nationwide in the nonprofit hospitals, nonprofit insurers, public and private higher education institutions, and a wide range of nonprofit organizations.

In addition to HHN, DuBose oversees the bank’s specialized teams covering clients in the Beverage, Commercial Auto, Commodity, Financial Sponsors, Food & Agribusiness, Franchise, Gaming, Government, Healthcare, Sports, and Technology sectors.

Ruby joins Wells Fargo from Bank of America, where he most recently served as market executive for its Midwest Healthcare, Education, and Non-Profit division. There, he led a team of relationship managers across 10 states, supporting health systems, senior living communities, higher education institutions, and nonprofit clients. Before joining Bank of America, he spent three decades at J.P. Morgan Chase and its predecessors in a progression of leadership roles within Commercial Banking, including over 20 years in the healthcare, higher education, and nonprofit sector.

A resident of River Forest, Illinois, Ruby earned a B.B.A. from The University of Iowa Trippie College of Business and an MBA from the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management. He currently serves as treasurer and finance committee chair for Brightpoint, a Chicago-based, prevention-focused family services organization.
