John Marshall Bank appointed Christopher W. Bergstrom president and CEO. He succeeds John R. Maxwell, who will continue to serve on the board as executive chairman.
Bergstrom held a variety of executive positions during his 19 years with Cardinal Financial and Cardinal Bank, including president and CEO, before United Bank’s acquisition of Cardinal in April 2017. He was United Bank’s president for the past year before joining John Marshall.
“To say I am delighted to have someone of Chris’s talent assume the critical position of CEO is an understatement,” Maxwell said. “Chris’s banking experience, coupled with his reputation as a man of integrity and his success helping to grow Cardinal Bank, makes Chris the perfect leader to step into the role as CEO at John Marshall Bank.”
“I am excited about taking the reins as CEO of this tremendous community bank,” Bergstrom said. “John Marshall Bank is one of the few remaining original community banks in the Northern Virginia D.C. metro market and a force with which to be reckoned. It’s going to be an exciting time for our customers and employees.”
Founded in 2006, John Marshall has banking centers in Reston, Alexandria, Arlington, Leesburg and Rockville, VA, and Washington, D.C.
