COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- After more
than 38 years in financial services, Huntington (Nasdaq: HBAN;
www.huntington.com) Commercial Banking Director Rick Remiker has announced his decision to
retire in May 2020.
Remiker joined Huntington in 2010 to lead the bank's equipment
finance business. He subsequently led specialty banking and in 2014
assumed leadership of the commercial bank. As Commercial Banking
Director, Remiker expanded Huntington's asset finance business, led
the strategic evolution and growth of Huntington Capital Markets
and specialty banking teams, as well as led the acquisitions and
integrations of Huntington Technology Finance (formerly Macquarie
Equipment Finance) and Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co. He also
led the successful commercial banking integration following
Huntington's 2016 acquisition of FirstMerit Corporation,
Huntington's largest acquisition. Remiker doubled Huntington's
commercial loan volume in his six years leading the commercial
bank.
"Rick is a purpose-driven leader who has made many important
contributions to Huntington, and he has been an outstanding
colleague and integral member of our executive leadership team. The
impressive growth in Commercial Banking is a result of his vision
and ability to build strong teams," said Steve Steinour, Huntington's chairman, president
and CEO.
Before joining Huntington, Remiker served as chief
administrative officer for RBS Citizens Asset Finance. He
previously launched Merrill Lynch Capital's commercial equipment
finance business, and he served as president and chief operating
officer of KeyBank's middle-market and large-ticket leasing
business. In the community, he serves as board chair for the
Mid-Ohio Foodbank and previously led Huntington's participation in
Pelotonia, the nation's largest single-event cycling
fundraiser.
Scott Kleinman, a 28-year
Huntington veteran, will succeed Remiker as Commercial Banking
Director and will serve on the bank's executive leadership team.
Kleinman currently is Executive Managing Director of Huntington
Capital Markets and has held a variety of senior leadership roles
in Huntington's capital markets and institutional banking
business.
"Scott's strategic vision, drive and discipline have enabled
tremendous growth in Capital Markets, which supports many important
businesses across Huntington, as well as Corporate Banking,"
Steinour said. "He and his highly effective teams have delivered
consistent growth and expanded capabilities. Additionally, Scott
has seamlessly integrated new businesses such as public finance
into the Commercial Bank."
Since joining Huntington in 1991, Kleinman launched Huntington's
interest rate derivative platform and commodities hedging business,
expanded institutional trading, foreign exchange and public finance
capabilities, served as Chief Operating Officer of Capital Markets,
chaired the Capital Markets Risk Committee and enhanced the Capital
Markets control environment. He serves on the board of Huntington
Securities, Inc. Huntington Capital Markets has delivered
consistent year-over-year growth under Kleinman's leadership.
Kleinman earned his bachelor's degree in public policy and
political science from Duke University
and his MBA from Ohio State. He is a
Chartered Financial Analyst and holds the Series 7 and 24
securities licenses.
Kleinman is the incoming chair of the American Bankers
Association Securities Association. He also serves on the board of
