KeyBank announced Wednesday that its Connecticut commercial sales leader Matthew Hummel has been promoted to market president for the state and Massachusetts market. 

Current Connecticut Market President James Barger has also been promoted to commercial banking executive for all of New England, leading Key’s commercial banking activities throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. 

Barger will relocate from Connecticut to Boston to continue to focus on Key’s commercial banking expansion in the greater Boston area and to be more centrally located among the New England markets that now report to him, the bank said.

In addition to continuing to lead Key’s commercial banking lenders in Connecticut and western Massachusetts, Hummel will now take on the responsibility of overseeing and coordinating KeyBank’s market strategy across its various lines of business and serve as the face and voice of Key in the community.  
He continues to report to Barger.
 
Hummel joined KeyBank in 2020 and has more than 30 years of commercial banking experience, primarily with Bank of America’s global commercial banking group.  

He obtained a bachelor’s degree from Colby College and holds an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Hartford.  


KeyBank is based in Ohio and entered the Connecticut market with its 2016 acquisition of First Niagara Financial Group. 

KeyBank has $179 billion in assets and about 49 branches in Connecticut.
