Dave Bodor, a longtime officer nearing retirement at People’s United Bank, is taking a part-time role at the Bridgeport bank and senior executive Dave Berey will take over as chief credit officer, beginning in the fall.
Bodor, a 37-year banking veteran and executive vice president, will run the regional lender’s workout and recovery operation for troubled assets. He has chaired the bank’s credit policy committee the past 13 years.
Berey, who is executive vice president of commercial banking, will take on the credit chief duties, effective Sept. 19, the bank said.
People’s United recently completed its $493 million buyout of Massachusetts’ Danvers Bank.
In connection with the deal, People’s added a 12th seat to its board of directors, filling it with former Danvers CEO Kevin T. Bottomley whose term expires at the 2013 annual meeting.
