Regional Commercial Banking -> Corporate Banking

Would it be possible to make a move from regional Commercial Banking ($10-50B in assets, outside of NYC/CHI/SF) to Corporate Banking? Has anyone made the switch before? Would it be prudent to make a stop in BB Commercial Banking first before attempting to move to Corporate Banking?
