Huntington Bancshares (HBAN) has lured a veteran executive from JPMorgan Chase (JPM) to lead its online operations.
The Columbus, Ohio bank holding company said Monday it has named Paul Heller to be chief technology and operations officer. At JPMorgan Chase, Heller oversaw the company's digital banking and payments.

Heller began his career with Andersen Consulting.
