"Progress in Minnesota is an important piece of Huntington's strategy, and we know we will continue to grow our business here and win new customers in the years to come," said Christian Corts, Regional Banking Director at Huntington. "Since we entered Minnesota in 2021, we've built an experienced team of bankers across business and consumer banking, mortgage lending, and wealth management - all of which have shown success. We're thrilled that Mike will be leading our efforts in this important state."

Maeser joined Huntington's Private Bank as the Minneapolis-St. Paul area leader in August 2021.

"I'm honored and excited to take on this incredible opportunity and to lead this amazing Minnesota team," said Maeser. "We've made impressive progress in the last three years, and I'm confident that we can continue to grow our market share by not only winning new customers, but also deepening our relationships with those we already serve here in Minnesota."

Maeser and his wife Mary are lifelong Twin Cities residents and have three adult children. He received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Minnesota. He holds several industries licenses and is currently a board member of the Minnesota Orchestra. Maeser previously served on the boards of Perspectives, Inc.; Greater Twin Cities United Way; and Minnesota Children's Theatre Company.
