BOSTON – Citizens Financial Group Inc. this week appointed two new bank presidents in Massachusetts and Connecticut to lead the financial institution in civic, business and community engagement across those two states.
Citizens Bank NA, a Citizens Financial Group subsidiary, has appointed Quincy Miller, president of business banking, Massachusetts bank president, and Lisa Maass, Connecticut head of middle market banking, Connecticut bank president, according to a press release.
Bruce Van Saun, Citizens chairman and CEO, lauded both Miller and Maass in a statement.
“Both are experienced bankers and strong leaders who will help us continue to provide great service to Citizens customers while growing our business in these key markets,” Van Saun said.
Miller takes over from outgoing Massachusetts president Jerry Sargent, who held the position for five years and will move on to the bank’s middle market business dealing with businesses with annual revenue exceeding $25 million. The bank says his responsibilities will now include the “overall leadership of state presidents across the Citizens footprint.”
Miller will continue to serve Citizens business banking business, according to the release, which comprises companies with annual revenue of up to $25 million.
“I am very excited by this opportunity to serve as state president of Massachusetts,” Miller said in a statement. “Citizens has a strong presence in Massachusetts and I am honored by this opportunity to support the community and help the local team provide the best possible banking experience for our Massachusetts customers.”
Miller, a Lafayette College graduate, joined Citizens in 2006 after working nine years at M&T Bank in New York City and Harrisburg, Pa.
Citizens Financial Group, founded in 1871, is based in Providence and is Rhode Island’s largest state-based bank with assets totaling $136.5 billion, according to its website.
Maass joined the bank in 1994 and will fill a position that has remained vacant since former Rhode Island and Connecticut state president Edward O. “Ned” Handy III left in 2013 to join Westerly-based Washington Trust Bancorp.
Maass, a Wheaton College graduate, led the bank’s middle market banking in Connecticut since 2011 and said in a statement that she looks forward to the opportunity.
“Citizens has a strong and growing presence in Connecticut and I am honored to take on this new role,” Maass said.
