Comercia Bank named Joe Ursuy executive vice president of national businesses for energy, renewables and waste. He will report to Mike Ritchie, executive vice president and head of national and specialty businesses at Comerica.
Ursuy most recently served as senior vice president and director of environmental services at Comerica, leading the bank’s environmental services department, which he helped establish. In addition to continue to manage Comerica’s relationships in the recycling, renewable energy and waste industries, Ursuy will also oversee the bank’s existing oil and natural gas production and midstream line of business.
“Joe’s expertise assisting renewable energy, recycling and refuse companies has been instrumental in allowing us to deepen our relationships in many sectors within those industries across all our markets,” Ritchie said. “These businesses and the environments in which they operate are continuing to evolve, and Joe’s leadership and extensive knowledge bolster our customers’ ability to navigate through their challenges while helping them grow and succeed.”
Ursuy has more than 20 years of experience and has been with Comerica since 1998. Before founding the environmental services division in 2006, he held a variety of positions in Comerica’s middle-market banking team.
Ursuy is a board member for the Environmental Research and Education Foundation based in Raleigh, NC. Other industry associations Ursuy cultivates Comerica’s relationship with include the National Waste & Recycling Association, the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas and the Detachable Container Association. He also leads Comerica’s partnership with Waste Expo and hosts the annual Waste 360 Business Leadership Forum designed to assist companies seeking business and financial strategies that go beyond daily operations.
