The Huntington National Bank announced that Mike Maeser has been named regional president in Minnesota, effective immediately. He steps into the role following an extensive career in the financial services industry, including the last three years in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market as area leader for the Huntington Private Bank.

"Progress in Minnesota is an important piece of Huntington's strategy, and we know we will continue to grow our business here and win new customers in the years to come," said Christian Corts, Regional Banking Director at Huntington. "Since we entered Minnesota in 2021, we've built an experienced team of bankers across business and consumer banking, mortgage lending, and wealth management – all of which have shown success. We're thrilled that Mike will be leading our efforts in this important state."

Maeser joined Huntington's Private Bank as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area leader in August 2021. In this role, he has served as a leader on Huntington's Private Bank Operating Committee and has had responsibility for Minnesota and the company's Illinois, Wisconsin, and Colorado, southern Ohio, Indiana, and Florida markets, as well as future expansion into new markets.

Prior to joining Huntington, Maeser was the longtime leader of Wells Fargo's wealth-management business in the Twin Cities and in surrounding states. He also worked at Citicorp Investment Services where he served as a regional sales manager. Mike has been in the financial services industry for more than 30 years.

"I'm honored and excited to take on this incredible opportunity and to lead this amazing Minnesota team," said Maeser. "We've made impressive progress in the last three years, and I'm confident that we can continue to grow our market share by not only winning new customers, but also deepening our relationships with those we already serve here in Minnesota."
