Access National Bank’s ("Access" or the “Company”) April 2017
merger with Middleburg Bank ("Middleburg") has been the catalyst
for unprecedented growth of the bank and professional additions to
the expanding team.
“Most bank mergers are rationalized based on staff reductions
and back office consolidation,” Michael Clarke, CEO of Access,
said. “While we have had some of that due to position duplication,
Access is taking advantage of its increased scale to leverage
strengths in commercial banking, mortgage and wealth services. As a
result, Access and its Middleburg Bank division are adding new
positions to serve our clients’ diverse and complex needs.”
Mr. Clarke continued: “Expansion of our $2.9 billion asset bank
has resulted in record growth beyond the combination of what the
two banks ever achieved independently. Through the end of the third
quarter of 2017, exclusive of merger accounting, the combined loan
portfolios have grown $75.1 million YTD and the combined deposits
have grown $200 million. This growth would not have been possible
without the addition of new client-facing leadership throughout the
year and continuing this month.”
Earlier this year, the Bank added executives Arch Moore III and
David Leudemann to the Middleburg division.
Moore, previously a 16-year veteran of Middleburg, rejoined the
organization in early June as EVP, Middleburg Market Executive,
overseeing commercial banking for the Middleburg market. Moore is
an experienced banker, having formerly advanced as Chief Lending
Officer at Middleburg Bank and Acting CEO at Potomac Bancshares,
Inc. in Charles Town, WV.
Leudemann joined in January and currently serves as EVP, Market
Executive, overseeing commercial banking of the Middleburg
division. His illustrious career spans 30 years, most recently as
the Dulles Corridor Market President for BB&T.
Under the leadership of SVP Adam Nalls, the Bank is rapidly
expanding its Government Contracting ("GovCon") division to provide
amplified services for this critical industry. This expansion
included welcoming seasoned GovCon banker Michael Marsden as VP,
Government Contract Lending. Marsden brings more than 25 years of
banking and commercial financing experience and has financed more
than 400 companies — most with a concentration in GovCon.
Earlier this quarter, the Bank launched a new Automotive
Dealership Banking segment, adding to Access' already sizeable
commercial banking repertoire. Led by automotive industry expert
Roy Giese, this new industry segment will integrate Access' robust
commercial banking platforms to expedite the day-to-day operational
cash flow of dealerships, allowing dealers to maintain their
inventory financing relationship with the manufacturer. Giese's
experience spans 30 years of managing dealer relationships in
Virginia and Metro D.C. with First Virginia Bank and BB&T.
On the Commercial Lending side, Trang Nguyen-Do joined the Bank
and operates out of Leesburg as SVP, Commercial Lending, and
provides on-target credit and treasury management solutions to her
growing portfolio of clients. Nguyen-Do's banking spans over 30
years serving in various business lending roles with SunTrust,
Capital One, and most recently, BB&T.
Earlier in the year, Middleburg’s Commercial Lending added Donna
Hickman, VP, Commercial Relationship Manager, to develop and manage
new and existing business relationships at a concierge level. Her
banking career began nearly 30 years ago as a management trainee
with First Virginia Bank; she went on to hold various management
and lending roles. Most recently, she led two branches at BB&T
and served as a Market Leader.
Earlier this month, the Bank’s commercial lending team in
Richmond expanded to include John Dane, SVP and Team Leader. Dane
began his banking career with BB&T's Management Development
Program. He later worked at numerous community banks serving the
Tri-Cities area as well as a correspondent banker at Community
Bankers' Bank in Midlothian.
In June, Joann Tobin, SVP, Treasury Management Sales Leader,
joined Access at the Bank’s Reston headquarters, working in tandem
with relationship managers to acquire, expand, and retain
high-value, complex commercial operating accounts through the
delivery of the treasury services which maximize cash flow
efficiency and security. Tobin brings 30 years of treasury
management experience at Cardinal Bank, Bank of America, M&T,
Chase, and Citi.
In order to facilitate Access and Middleburg’s success with a
sufficient infrastructure, operational roles have been added to
support and lead the Bank’s accounting and credit departments.
Daniel Burnett, SVP, Principal Accounting Officer, joined Access
with more than 25 years of providing professional financial
management services, with a concentration in audit and accounting
for the financial institution industry. Previously, he operated his
own professional consulting company, Burnett Group, LLC,
established in 2008. He is a CPA, licensed in Virginia and New
York.
In September, the credit department welcomed Heather Skigen,
SVP, Senior Credit Officer. Skigen brings 25 years of banking
experience at the national and community bank levels. Most
recently, she served as Chief Credit Officer for John Marshall
Bank, overseeing credit underwriting, construction loan management,
and loan reviews.
Access and Middleburg value the business generated and
exceptional service delivered at the branch level, and have added
tenured officers to better cater to the clients and communities
they serve.
Newly added as VP, Financial Services Center and Relationship
Manager, Tripta Sachdev works closely with different industry
segments out of the Leesburg-Fort Evans branch. Before joining
Access, Sachdev served both large and small community banks as a
Vice President and Branch Manager, specializing in building
connections with the business community and nonprofits.
Fairfax County native, Mansoor Bhatti was hired to lead the
Manassas branch as VP, Relationship Manager, Business and Consumer
Banking. Bhatti began working at Bank of America while attending
George Mason University. He later served at BB&T for 12
years.
The Gainesville branch has welcomed its new VP, Client Services
Manager, Diego Riveros to lead business development and deposit
growth. Riveros comes to Access and Middleburg via Cardinal Bank
(now part of United Bank) in Sterling, Virginia, where he worked as
a Banking Center Manager. He has nearly 20 years of experience
working in banking at the branch level – serving 11 years as United
Bank’s Arlington Branch Manager.
Middleburg Trust Company added Harry Hudnall Ware IV, as VP,
Client Relationship Manager earlier this month. Ware specializes in
investment products for institutional and high net worth investors.
He brings nearly 35 years of business development and relationship
management experience to aid in the continued growth of the
Company’s $1.9 billion of wealth assets under management.
Middleburg Investment Services ("MIS") is also growing its team
to accommodate the increased business post-merger. VP, Financial
Consulting, Joseph O'Malley and Financial Consultant, Tucker Holt
have joined the MIS team to assist the division by providing
holistic financial planning solutions.
O'Malley has managed client investments for nearly 15 years and
became a Certified Financial Planner® (“CFP”) Professional 10 years
ago. At MIS, he provides his clients a broad range of investment
opportunities and any necessary guidance to help them achieve their
financial goals and dreams.
Holt will leverage deep connections and be primarily focused on
his clientele in his hometown of Warrenton and throughout Fauquier
County, but his responsibilities extend across the entire Company
footprint. He possesses prior experience working in the financial
service industry at both a brokerage firm and boutique financial
planning firm. Holt received his MBA from Mary Washington
University.
“We are fortunate to have such a deep pool of talent serving our
clients,” Clarke said. “As a combined organization, both the Access
and Middleburg division teams are eager to expand further in 2018,
positioned as the bank of choice within our desired market
segments.”
As of this date, the Company is actively seeking to fill 20
positions to facilitate continued growth. Interested in joining the
