Connecticut Community Bank in Norwalk has a new leader.
The bank announced that Lou Garcia had succeeded David Tralka as its president and CEO.
Garcia, a former director at Fieldpoint Private, most recently led a group looking to form a de novo bank. Organizers of New Canaan Bank received a temporary certificate of authority from Connecticut’s Department of Banking and raised $30 million, but opted to not pursue a charter in 2023 due to macroeconomic factors.
