“We congratulate Marty on nearly two decades of exceptional leadership with Cambridge Trust and thank him for his many contributions to the bank, including the strong credit culture that has been a hallmark of our success,” Denis K. Sheahan, president and CEO of Cambridge Trust, said. “We are also very excited to appoint Steve and Pete to our executive leadership team, completing the succession plan that we have had in place. We are confident they will continue to build on the strong foundation that Mr. Millane has worked to create.”
