First American Bank named Kevin Shukur (pictured) as the West Florida Market President. The veteran banking executive Shukur will lead First American Bank’s West Florida corporate banking team and provide full-service banking from the bank’s Tampa headquarters. The privately held, full-service bank manages over $5.5 billion in assets while serving Chicago, Milwaukee, Miami and Tampa markets, with plans to expand its presence in the Florida market.
“At First American Bank, we are dedicated to providing unparalleled service and credit expertise to our clients through tailor-made solutions,” says Brian Hagan, Florida Market President. “Kevin’s appointment underscores the level of sophistication available to Tampa locals who seek personalized attention from a trusted community bank.”
Most recently, Shukur headed up BBVA USA’s (newly acquired by PNC) West Florida Market, having founded it in 2013. He has served as National Sales Manager for SouthTrust Corporate Banking Group, Executive Vice President at Bay Cities Bank and West Florida Market President at BBVA USA. At First American Bank, Shukur will bring his local market knowledge to help grow a team of seasoned bankers to focus on the needs of owner-managed businesses and commercial real estate throughout West and Central Florida.
“It is an honor to officially join First American Bank as West Florida Market President,” Shukur says. “In my new role, I’m looking forward to bringing high-touch commercial banking to West Florida. As a local decision-maker and Tampa native since 1984, I understand the market and am eager to serve the business communities found here with high-touch, personalized attention. First American Bank remains an innovative industry leader, and I’m proud to be on board.”
