What they’re saying

“This expanded role is exciting and humbling. The strength of KeyBank lies in the way our teams work together, share expertise and build relationships that help our clients thrive. As we continue to grow across the East, I look forward to working even more closely with our wealth management teams while staying committed to the Maine and Vermont communities I'm proud to serve.”

“The Northeast is a growth market for KeyBank. We have high performing teams in place, but we are going to grow our banker count by at least 10% in 2026. Middle market companies are seeking banking partners who bring more to the relationship, which is exactly what KeyBank does. We have a best-in-class investment bank and wealth management division in addition to our commercial banking lending and payments capabilities. It's an exciting time to lead this team.”
