The company has also hired three CRE industry leaders to help Cianfichi oversee the innovation office. Lopa Kolluri joined M&T as senior vice president of commercial real estate, Laura Murphy as senior strategic initiatives manager, and Ashley Mitchell as vice president and lead commercial segment support analyst.
“Often, when a client approaches a large financial organization, they can feel siloed into one group or another, with those groups not communicating efficiently,” Cianfichi said. “At M&T, we recognize the value of connecting the client to what they need in a coordinated way, as a trusted advisor providing a creative solution.”
