Citizens Bank announced the appointment of Quincy Miller, president of Citizens’ Business Banking division, as its new Massachusetts state president. Miller succeeds Jerry Sargent, who will focus full time on leading Citizens Commercial Banking’s Middle Market business after serving as state president for five years.
As state president, Miller will lead Citizens’ engagement with civic, business and community leaders across the commonwealth. He will retain responsibility for Citizens’ company-wide Business Banking unit, which serves companies with annual revenue of up to $25 million.
“I am very excited by this opportunity to serve as state president in Massachusetts,” Miller said. “Citizens has a strong presence in Massachusetts, and I am honored by this opportunity to support the community and to help the local team provide the best possible banking experience for our Massachusetts customers.”
A member of Citizens Bank’s Executive Leadership Group, Miller serves as a member of the Citizens Bank Charitable Foundation Board of Directors. He also currently serves as board chair for the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts.
Prior to joining Citizens in 2006, Miller spent nine years at M&T Bank in New York City and in Harrisburg, Pa., where he was vice president and retail regional manager. Over the course of his career, he has received “40 under 40” recognition from the Boston Business Journal, Crain’s Cleveland Business and the Central Penn Business Journal.
Miller is a graduate of Lafayette College, where he earned a B.A. in economics and business.
