Ocean Bank promoted two veteran bankers: Eddie Diaz has been named senior vice president and head of Corporate Lending, and Rogelio Villarreal was named senior vice president and head of Commercial Lending.
“Both Eddie and Roger have built solid and rewarding client relationships in the nearly two decades each has worked with and for their customers,” said Ocean President and CEO Agostinho Alfonso Macedo. “They understand the needs and goals of our long-term customers and have strong market insights into the Miami business community.
Diaz will lead both the corporate lending and residential mortgage teams. He first joined Ocean Bank in 1998 and worked as a credit analyst and in the commercial real estate department until 2005. He rejoined the bank in 2008 as senior vice president and regional manager.
Villarreal joined Ocean Bank in 2001. He previously held positions as head of Middle Market Lending and in SBA lending and in commercial real estate lending at local institutions.
Ocean Bank is the largest independent, state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Florida, with $4.3 billion in assets.
