Access National Bank and its subsidiary, Middleburg Bank, appointed John G. Dane senior vice president and team leader in the bank’s Richmond, VA market.

“As a native of Richmond, I know the Access National model will be well received by many Richmond businesses, both big and small,” Dane said. “There is no other community bank headquartered in Virginia that can deliver the same level of industry expertise and client-focused service.”

Dane began his career with BB&T in its Management Development Program and served as a small business banker at its branch in Chester, VA. He subsequently worked at other community banks in the Richmond area as a commercial lender and special assets officer before joining the Correspondent Banking team at Community Bankers’ Bank.

“Access National and Middleburg pride themselves on being community-focused banks,” said David Leudemann, executive vice president of commercial banking for Middleburg. “John’s invaluable industry expertise will benefit current and prospective Richmond-based clients as Access and Middleburg move forward post-merger.”
