BANKING & FINANCIAL SERVICES
Mark Hutton
M&T Bank
With the retirement of longtime Delaware Market President Nick Lambrow earlier this year, M&T Bank turned to Mark Hutton to take over the helm. Hutton was first recruited by M&T Bank in 2008 to open a small commercial banking office in the major financial market and would later help advise the acquisition of Wilmington Trust that pushed M&T to Delaware’s banking forefront. He last served as executive vice president of commercial banking in Delaware, one of the most important internal roles at the bank. Now he leads the bank with the largest brick-and- mortar presence here along with a major tech center and more than a thousand employees.
