Citizens Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: CFG) today announced that
Jim Weiss has joined Citizens as Florida market president to bring
additional local focus and expertise as Citizens continues to grow
its presence in Florida.
Weiss, based in Tampa, has more than 30 years of banking
experience and most recently served as regional president at Busey
Bank where he led the Commercial, Wealth and Retail businesses in
Florida. Prior to that, he had a 16-year career at Fifth Third
Bank, most notably leading the Commercial business across the
state.
With approximately 270 colleagues, five retail branches and two
wealth centers across the state, Citizens continues to invest in
best-in class experience and solutions to support Florida’s

year. Weiss will partner closely with Citizens’ Private Bank,
Wealth Management, Capital Markets & Advisory, Business Banking
and Retail Banking teams to bring senior-level attention and
expertise to both new and existing clients.
