12 October 2016 - 12:00AM
Five Star Bank (“Five Star”), subsidiary of Financial Institutions,
Inc. (NASDAQ:FISI), continues to expand and strengthen its
management team with the hiring of Edward S. Oexle as Buffalo
Regional President. In this role, Oexle will serve as the bank’s
senior executive in one of its largest growth markets, further
accelerating momentum in serving communities across Western New
York.
Mr. Oexle, who started work at Five Star today,
is a highly-respected banker with more than 25 years of commercial
banking experience in Buffalo, including executive and leadership
roles. He also brings eight successful years of non-banking
experience as partner and general manager of a privately held
manufacturer and distributor based in Buffalo, providing him
valuable business expertise and customer perspective of
banking.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Ted to Five Star
Bank,” said Martin K. Birmingham, President and Chief Executive
Officer. “His experience, capability, character, and understanding
of the Western New York market position him well to lead our effort
to grow Five Star’s commercial banking business by delivering
comprehensive financial solutions to borrowers of all sizes −
helping our business customers and communities succeed. Our team is
rich with talented individuals and we believe Ted is the right
leader as we increase Five Star Bank’s focus on serving
Buffalo.”
Ted Oexle commented, “I could not be more
excited to be joining the Five Star team. It is a wonderful
organization with a rich history and long tradition of community
banking in Upstate New York. This is the perfect time for a bank
like Five Star to offer an alternative to the services provided by
the much larger, less nimble financial institutions. I look forward
to leading the charge to capitalize on the significant
opportunities associated with the Buffalo community.”
Mr. Oexle is a graduate of the State University
College at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics,
and serves on the Board of Trustees of Hilbert College. He lives in
Tonawanda, NY, where he and his wife have raised three
children.
