Banking runs in Yuleisy Montalvo’s blood as she followed in her mother’s footsteps in pursuing a career in the industry. Montalvo launched her career at Republic National Bank (now Regions Bank), climbing the ladder at Amerant and Bank United, rising from part-time teller to her current leadership role at Centennial Bank. Montalvo manages one of the bank’s largest loan portfolios and secures new business opportunities, playing a crucial role in the financial institution’s $900 million deal volume achieved in 2021.
Outside of the office, her greatest accomplishment is her family. As Co-Leader of her daughter’s Girl Scouts Troop, Montalvo participates and spearheads the organization’s community involvement and collaboration with various nonprofits and shelters throughout South Florida.
