Fifth Third Bank, National Association, (Nasdaq: FITB) has appointed Marty McAndrew to market president and commercial banking head for Florida, a new statewide role designed to accelerate the Bank’s commercial and middle market growth in both the North and South Florida regions.
In his new position, McAndrew will lead the middle market banking teams throughout the state, focusing on talent cultivation, business development and the strategic expansion of Fifth Third’s commercial banking footprint in Florida.
McAndrew spent more than 20 years at Wells Fargo in Florida, serving in multiple sales and leadership roles. Most recently, he was commercial banking managing director and Florida market executive at BMO. McAndrew holds dual bachelor’s degrees in entrepreneurial and small business management and marketing from Florida State University.
“Marty brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record of success in Florida’s commercial banking landscape,” said Stephanie Green, Fifth Third Bank’s South Florida region president. “His leadership will be instrumental in unifying and accelerating our growth strategy across both North and South Florida. I look forward to partnering with Marty as we continue to invest in our people, deepen our client relationships, and deliver exceptional value across the state of Florida.”
“It is an exciting time to join Fifth Third and work alongside such a talented and reputable team of commercial bankers,” said McAndrew. “Florida is a dynamic market with rapidly growing businesses and industries. I look forward to collaborating with our North and South Florida teams to help these companies achieve financial success.”
Earlier this month, Fifth Third announced additional leadership changes in the state. Scott Daigle was named North Florida region president, succeeding Cary Putrino, who has transitioned into a new role as region chairman for North Florida. Daigle will oversee the strategic direction and growth of Fifth Third’s commercial banking, wealth and asset management and commercial payments businesses across the Tampa Bay, Central Florida and Jacksonville markets, and Putrino will be focused on business development, special projects and brand ambassadorship for the region.
