New York-based M&T Bank Corporation recently appointed Jeff Carpenter as regional president of Massachusetts for M&T Bank, its principal banking subsidiary.
Carpenter has more than two decades of corporate and specialty banking experience. In his new role, he will deepen partnerships in the innovation, medical research and higher education sectors and shape workplace culture. He will lead a team of 678 employees in the bank’s corporate offices and 61 branches.
Carpenter also will guide M&T’s regional leaders including members of retail banking, business banking, commercial banking, wealth management, government banking and charitable teams.
“Jeff’s appointment underscores M&T Bank’s commitment to strong, local leadership in Massachusetts as we continue to grow our presence in across New England,” Augie Chiasera, M&T bank senior executive vice president and head of community markets, said. “Having been part of M&T for years, Jeff brings a deep understanding of our culture and strategy and will now lead an already strong, deeply engaged team in Boston. With his extensive experience in specialty and corporate banking and understanding of capital markets, Jeff is well positioned to drive growth, strengthen client relationships and deepen our community impact across the commonwealth.”
In 2023, Carpenter became executive vice president, head of specialty and corporate banking.
M&T Bank’s Massachusetts’ headquarters is in Boston.
