Bank of America has named Michael Esposito as president of its Tampa Bay market, succeeding Bill Goede, who retired in December, after 35 years with the company. Esposito, who joined Bank of America in 1994, has held leadership roles in Retail Banking, Preferred Banking and Merrill. He most recently served as national performance executive for the Merrill Advisor Development Program. He has been part of the local leadership team for the past decade.
“Bill had a tremendous impact over the last 35 years, delivering the full breadth of Bank of America to our Tampa Bay clients and community,” said Brian Moynihan, the bank’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We thank him for his leadership and look forward to continued growth and success with Michael becoming the next Tampa Bay president.”
Goede led the Tampa Bay market for 18 years and oversaw more than $12 million in philanthropic support to local nonprofits, including a $1 million grant to the Straz Center for the Performing Arts.
Esposito serves on the board of directors of The Florida Aquarium and the board of governors of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce.
