Following NetValue, Younger was for six years (2000-2006) the SVP of leadership development and eventually Chief Learning and Talent Officer of National City Corporation. During this time he established the bank's well-regarded corporate "Leader University". National City was merged with PNC Bank in 2008.
In 2006, Younger joined Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood and colleagues in the RBL Group.
