Amerant Bancorp in Coral Gables, Fla., will enter the Tampa, Fla.,
market after hiring a team of bankers.
The $7.8 billion-asset company said in a press release Thursday
that the group will be led by Jason Russek, who was named market
president. He previously served as a regional director of commercial banking at
BankUnited, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Russek will oversee a team of six commercial bankers.
The office will focus on commercial real estate, along with
other commercial and industrial, specialty finance and treasury management
services.
“Tampa’s exponential development makes it an ideal location for
our ongoing strategic expansion in Florida,” Jerry Plush, Amerant’s chairman,
president and CEO, said in the release.
“The area’s appeal is broad, offering excellent schools,
world-class entertainment, ease of travel and a strong talent pool of prospective
team members,” Plush added.
