Huntington Bank names ex-KeyBank exec president of its Greater Cleveland region
Huntington Bank continues to push to enhance its Cleveland presence, luring a KeyBank executive away to become the new president in this region.
Daniel P. Walsh Jr., executive vice president who led KeyBank’s national Real Estate Capital Markets business, has been named president of Huntington’s Greater Cleveland region.
Mr. Walsh, 41, is a Cleveland native who has spent his banking career at KeyBank. He replaces Jerry Kelsheimer, who has been Huntington’s Greater Cleveland region president since 2005. Mr. Kelsheimer will remain with the bank, though Huntington said he will be working with management to define his role as he helps transition Mr. Walsh into his new position. In a statement, the company said he “remains important to success in the Cleveland region.”
Steve Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington Bank, said in a statement that Mr. Walsh’s “impressive accomplishments” made him right for the job.
“With his natural leadership abilities and keen focus on growth, we believe he will be able to grow Huntington’s presence in the marketplace,” he said.
Mr. Walsh is treasurer of the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council and serves on the board of directors for the National Multi-Housing Council and the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation. He received his bachelor’s degree and MBA from the Case Western Reserve University Weatherhead School of Management.
Mr. Walsh also received a law degree from Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent College of Law. He lives in Shaker Heights with his wife and two children.
Huntington has steadily been increasing its focus in this area, adding a number or local executives and expanding its branch hours to include Sundays.
Randy Stickler, Huntington’s senior executive vice president and commercial real estate director, said previously that the bank sees “significant” opportunities for Huntington in this market.
