McIntyre takes over FCIB Cayman
Career banker Mark McIntyre has replaced Tom Crawford as managing director of CIBC FirstCaribbean country operations in the Cayman Islands.
McIntyre's appointment took effect Tuesday, January 17.
Crawford, who retires in June, will assist with the transition and retains his portfolio as vice-chairman of the bank with responsibility for special projects within the offices of the executive chairman and chief executive officer, CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank said.
"Many people within CIBC FirstCaribbean will remember Mark from an earlier stint with the bank after the merger of the Caribbean operations of CIBC and Barclays Bank," CIBC FirstCaribbean group CEO Rik Parkhill in a company-issued statement.
"He brings to the table excellent skills as a negotiator and problem-solver, who is experienced in the delivery of exceptional customer service in a very demanding environment."
McIntyre has been a banker since 1988.
"I was privileged to be part of the team when the bank was formed, and even after leaving I followed its progress with interest," he said.
"I am excited to be able to contribute to the future development of CIBC FirstCaribbean."
